Description: Patterns of Stylistic Changes in Islamic Architecture : Local Traditions Versus Migrating Artists, Hardcover by Meinecke, Michael, ISBN 0814754929, ISBN-13 9780814754924, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A collection of four unconventional essays presented by Islamic art and architecture expert Michael Meinecke in lecture form at New York University before his sudden death in 1995. The case studies, representing years of field experience, do not follow the traditional periodic, linear approach of many scholars, instead focusing on changes in local workforces and craftsmen to explain the transformations and development of Islamic architecture. Meinecke discusses the city of Raqqa, the role of the Abbasid dynasty in its development, the architectural history of Busra and Hasankeyf and the influences of other cultures on their buildings, and the ways in which the Mamluk and Ottoman dynastic influences interconnect in Syria, Anatolia, and Egypt. Includes photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
