| Inhalt | The seminar is a survey of different artistic and architectural works created under different Islamic dynasties. With this course, the participant will be able to read history not only in written texts, but also through visual sources. In addition to written materials, visual sources can serve as additional fruitful insight into a culture as it evolves. A society’s traditions, wealth, culture, hierarchies, religion, economy, diplomatic relations and political transformations, etc., all have a direct influence on its artistic and architectural commissions and works. Obtaining the ability to read, interpret and understand these visual sources will provide a deeper understanding of Islamic dynasties, their transformations and decline. Beginning with early Islamic art and architecture in the seventh century, the course will look at the emergence of new artistic and decorative styles, the decorative arts, architecture and its features, as well as the evolution in the treatment of interiors. This survey will also discuss the changing styles over the thousand year period, placing them in their historical context with reference to cross-cultural influences from the East and West on architecture. During the seminar, the students will be encouraged to discuss and interpret artistic styles and architectural plans, and be able to place and identify different styles within an developmental process. The students will have access to key reading and visual materials to assist them in their learning, research and revisions. Active participation in the class discussions is obligatory. |
