This is a show that was designed for a photo presentation in the Pennsylvania State University. The photos are from Uzbekistan, Samarkand and Bukhara. All of them represent some of the master pieces of Islamic art. Different mosques, madrasahs and tombs. I hope you will like it. email me for any questions osensoy@gmail.com

...Otherwise please explain Where do you mean came the "islamic" art from? From the sleeves of the Moslem invaders? Had the Moslems architecture, painting or mathematics before expanding from the Arabian Peninsula? Even the numerals which we know as "Arabic" are in fact Indian. There is nothing wrong about adopting other cultures but the moslems should be more appreciative instead denying those whom they owe their culture.
Thank you for making, posting and sharing with all.
Peace!
thats whay we have now whats we call islamiq art, and islamiq civilisation.(nothin to do with sassanid and pharaonique art) the numerals are arabic(north african) used in morocco and al andalus, thats why we dondt found them in the middl est. the indian (arabo-indian) numerals are those used no
w in egypt and the middl est.

regarding numerals see in wikipedia
where is stated that "Arabic numerals is the conventional name for the family of numerals, invented by Indian mathematicians in around AD 500"
regarding architecture you can read in wikipedia:
"Many cities such as Baghdad, for example, were based on precedents such as Firouzabad in Persia. In fact, it is now known that the two designers who were hired by al-Mansur to plan the city's design were Naubakht,a former Persian Zoroastrian.. continue
... and Mashallah, a former Jew from Khorasan, Iran."
what the persian architects created in the islamic era was based on their knowledge and experience from the pre-islamic Iran. that's how the development of art works and it's nothing wrong with it BUT the moslems have to recognize what they owe to older civilizations and appreciate them instead of denying those contributions. But maybe denying is what islam teachs to its followers.
about the architecture responding to you is a waste of time because what you say is stupide(realy sory but i have no other word to use). go make some shearch about islamique architecture . ( aljafariya palce, soulymanya mosqu, alhambra palce, isfahan mosque, al karaouiyne university, taj mahel, s
amarcand mosques and palaces). islamique archetectural arts (not pharaonique or sassanide):zoulayj, phousaiphissa, arabic calligraphy, kouba, islamic styl gardens, minarets...
About numerals:
first in wekipedia every bdy can write what he want.
second: the indo-arabic numerals are those used in the abasside empire (al mashrek).in Al maghreb(morrocco and al andalus) we never used the mashrek numerals, we use sins centries what we call Al ghobar numerals( what the west call arabic numerals used now every where). and al mashrek never use al ghobar numerals.
later whene the pape sylvestr came to al karaouine universty, as a student, he introduced them in europe
first: you now nothing about islam
second: i tork to you with respect,so...
Again, art can't arise from the sleeves of any nation. It's always based on prior civilizations. that's a fact which you can't change even not by calling me "stupid" which is only an evidence for the typical ignorance you too are showing.
second: idont now what do you meane by "art can't arise from the sleeves of any nation" what Slaves?? the archtectur in iran maded by persiam yes i agree but muslum persian, this architechtur have no relation with pre- islamique persia. And what about the morocco-andalous architecture? is it per
sian to?? what im trying to expline is the islamique persia architecture is very deffrent than the preislamique architectur of persia everybody now that
not slaves but SLEEVES. it's English! take a look in your dictionary. Again, architecture of the islamic Iran is based on the pre-islamic Persian architecture such as the plans of the sacral buildings, plans of the Persian garden which was divided in 4 areas called "Chaharbagh" which was adapted in the gardens of Andalus. The technology of building a dome was invented by the Persians. Of course the style was different but ...continued
... but the new style was based on the technology provided by the pre-islamic Iran as before described. It was justt a small introduction in the principles of the development of architecture for free for you. No relation? Again where arose the architecture from? for sure not from the tents of the Bedouins in the Arab peninsula.
anyway as you said my arguments sound stupid to you and your ignorance does the same to me. I think there is nothing more to say.
seconde: YES now i complitly agree with you, the islamique persian architecture for sur is based on preislamique techniques, and its very very normal, but i dosent mean that the architecture and the new technics are preislamique. the western civilisation is based on islamique civilisation , but i
dosent mean that the westerne civlisation is islamique.
the designe of gardens(in al hambra and tajmahel for exemple)is based on the paradise model discribed on the coran, and every architecture specialiste now that.
sory about my inglish.
first: paradise is JANNA not ferdaws and JANNA is Arabic. Ferdaws means the highest level in the paradiss. if you are an architecte you must to now that.
to be honest i never heard about "chaharbagh", im not an architect,but i saw a lot of westerne and arabes documaentary, and listen to a lot of architecte specialistes, and all of themee(exept you) sayed that the disigne in islamic gardens is directly inspired from the coran, and they have a specia
l styl.
what do you say is realy strange, im not sure if you want just prouve a thrute,(in this case i will happy to listen to you). or just fhiting anything islamic.( in that case im losing my time hear.
now if you dont mind i wanna now if you are denying the existance of an islamique art and architecture, different than any other in the history.
cose i dont now any more what is your opinion im lost hear.
thanks
