Review of Islam

Rose's post on Islamic design focused on the intricacy and beauty of architectural elements during this time period.  She focused on the horseshoe arch that are typically found in the Great Mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia, North Africa.  She also pointed out the stained glass windows that were typically found in many mosques from the different regional areas, and provided a great modern example of stained glass window in a modern application.

Natalie's blog post included an awesome video on Islamic Architecture! It was a great addition to her post and gave an in depth explanation on architecture features during this time period.  She also provided us with pictures from three different mosques and was able to successfully correlate modern applications of design from each mosque.
