(Provence) THE MOSQUE BUILDERS. I am writing a book on the mosque builders, modeled on Gimpel's "THE CATHEDRAL BUILDERS."New December 19, 2011: Presentation speculating on architectural sketch plans in the Middle Ages that I made to the Architecture department at KFUPM December 19, 2011
Now I am using this page to put together my thoughts on the architects in Medieval Islam, their use of Mathematics and the beauty of the buildings they designed. Please e-mail me with any comments or suggestions
If, after reading the Draft of "THE MOSQUE BUILDERS" below, you wish to contact me, please do so. My name is Denis Hoppe. Please contact me if you have any documentation or leads on who were the architects in Classical Islam(8th through 15th centuries)--I know that we know a considerable amount about architects in the Ottoman periiod: Sinan, etc. I have provided a Guestbook
(View Guestbook)where your comments can be left in a collaborative fashion. My apologies if, for some reason, your computer cannot accept the guestbook link. Simply e-mail me directly in that case. Be that as it may, this is still meant to be a research page in "The Mosque Builders."
