Even a casual observer can spy traces of Islamic architecture and design on buildings all over the world; a reminder that artistic traditions and visual culture have never been limited to their region or country of origin; but rather are highly diffusible. This book brings together scholars from architectural studies; design; art history; and other fields to challenge and expand concepts of Islamic architecture. Ranging from eighteenth-century Ottoman tents to manifestations of Islamic motifs in 1960s Hawaii; this richly illustrated volume raises key questions about Islamic architecture; and; more broadly; about how we can rethink our understanding of material; artistic; and cultural mobility in the modern world.
