_The Use of Light in Islamic Architecture

Description

The great French architect Le Corbusier once said: “Architecture is the learning game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.” In Islamic architecture, light plays a significant role in shaping the interiors of mosques and other buildings. Magnificent domes, windows and delicately carved screens recast light in new ways that not only decorate surfaces, but extend structural lines and illuminate specific parts of the interior facade.
