How do regional styles differ from one another?
In this unit you’ll be exposed to various regional styles of Islamic art and architecture from c. 950-1500 AD/CE.
Your basic discussion questions are: how would you characterize the regional styles of this time period? What
are the basic differences between, for example, Islamic art and architecture produced in the western lands of
the Islamic world and that produced in the eastern Islamic world? Are these differences mainly visible in
architecture or can they be discerned as well in the portable arts? And finally, during this period is there
anything coherent about Islamic style as a whole or is it really a conglomeration of regional styles and genres?
