Book Description
This is a poetrybook entitled, The Taj Mahal: Quatrains 1 to 80". This is a long ode to the Taj Mahal. This is a third edition. The poetrybook is divided into 4 chapters. Each chapter has 5 sonts. Each sont has 4 quatrains. The total number of quatrains is 80 quatrains since: 4 chapters x 5 sonts/chapter x 4 quatrains/sont = 80 quatrains. What is a "sont"? The poet invents the word "sont" to differentiate his poems from a "sonnet". The poet defines "sont" as a "16 line poem". A "sonnet" is a 14 line poem. The long poem was first written between September-October 2002 in Milpitas (California). The long poem is now published via lulu.com on November 11, 2016, Friday as a first edition. The third edition is released on January 3, 2017. The original long poem is 100 quatrains but I cut off the 100 quatrains to 80 quatrains for this book. The remaining 20 quatrains is transferred to a sequel. The author plans to release a second poetrybook or a sequel about the Taj Mahal by 2017.

The Topkapi Scroll
Author: Gülru Necipoğlu
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892363355
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
Since precious few architectural drawings and no theoretical treatises on architecture remain from the premodern Islamic world, the Timurid pattern scroll in the collection of the Topkapi Palace Museum Library is an exceedingly rich and valuable source of information. In the course of her in-depth analysis of this scroll dating from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century, Gülru Necipoğlu throws new light on the conceptualization, recording, and transmission of architectural design in the Islamic world between the tenth and sixteenth centuries. Her text has particularly far-reaching implications for recent discussions on vision, subjectivity, and the semiotics of abstract representation. She also compares the Islamic understanding of geometry with that found in medieval Western art, making this book particularly valuable for all historians and critics of architecture. The scroll, with its 114 individual geometric patterns for wall surfaces and vaulting, is reproduced entirely in color in this elegant, large-format volume. An extensive catalogue includes illustrations showing the underlying geometries (in the form of incised “dead” drawings) from which the individual patterns are generated. An essay by Mohammad al-Asad discusses the geometry of the muqarnas and demonstrates by means of CAD drawings how one of the scroll’s patterns could be used co design a three-dimensional vault.
