Islamic

Islamic design was centered on religion. Mosques are models after the Prophet Mohammad's farm in Medina. Important feature of all mosques are the perimeter wall, the vocoder hall of columns that becomes the prayer hall and the courtyard. It is inspired by Indian design. One of the design features of mosques was that the walls were designed to look like carpets. To achieve that, intricate tile work is featured on the walls. This is shown in the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed also known as the 'blue mosque.'
