MOSQUES ARCHITECTURE

Here I wanted to explore the main features that can be seen in a mosque, and a lot of the times it is domes, minarets and arches. I have drawn a few variations of each to explore different styles and shapes that I can use for my final design.

These are some different styles of domes. Domes are can be commonly seen not only just mosques, but also churches and amore

Minarets come in all shapes and sizes, and a lot of the designs are based around a certain period of time. I have only drawn four, however it gives me the foundation of what a minaret can consist of.

There are a lot of different arches styles and these are a few which I like. I think arches can really pull the final outcome of a place, even though it is such a simple concept Designs around it and unique shapes give it its complexity

This drawing shows the different parts and layers a structure can have. This one has a dome that sits on top of an arch and I’ve showed this.
