The most typical feature of Islamic architecture is neither their uncovered position nor their architectural style, but their tendency to hide behind high walls and focus on indoor layout.
However, Islamic architecture showed a tradition in the early stage of development. Islamic architecture inevitably develops regional differences, blending the charm of Syria, Persia and Samarkand, as well as the styles of Mecca and Medina.
However, the architecture in no place can explain the characteristics of Islamic architecture alone. The development of Islamic architecture, like its religious rituals, comes directly from the daily life of believers; This is an oasis building.
The common symbols of Islamic architecture include: expressing the concept of Allah's omnipotence by repeatedly using the theme of the universe. Because Allah is considered unparalleled, people and animals rarely appear in decorative arts. Leaves are common decorative patterns, but the style is typical or simple for the same reason.
The Koran texts in buildings are usually written in Arabic calligraphy. Islamic architecture is also called "veiled architecture" because the beautiful landscape is often indoors (courtyards and houses) and can't be seen from the outside (streets). In addition, exaggerated techniques such as large domes, towering pagodas and large courtyards are also used to express infinite power.
