NEVERTHELESS, THE PROVIDED TRIANGULAR PLOT WAS GIVEN TO DEVELOP

SULTAN-UL-MADARIS SERVES A DUAL PURPOSE THAT IS A BLEND OF THE

CONSTITUTES THE MOST REMARKABLE THEME TO THE STRUCTURE.

AMENITIES TO THE NEEDY WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TEACHING THE QURAN

AS ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TENETS OF ISLAM,

AND OTHER RELIGIOUS TEXTS ALONG WITH THE FAITH’S CUSTOMS,

MADRASAS FOCUS ON LEARNINGS FROM THE LIFE OF PROPHET MOHAMMAD

CULTURE, HISTORY AND VISIONS, WHICH ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO ANY

RELIGION AND HENCE A SEMI-SACRED ACTIVITY IN TRUE SENSE.

THESE MADRASAS WERE THE SOURCE OF TODAY’S MODERN PHILOSOPHY, ASTRONOMY, CARTOGRAPHY, AGRONOMY, MATHEMATICS AND MEDICAL SCIENCE IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE WORLD AT THE ZENITH OF THE ISLAMIC KINGDOM. TODAY, MADRASA BALANCE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION WITH THE STUDY OF SECULAR SUBJECTS. THEY AID IMPOVERISHED FAMILIES SEEKING EDUCATION, FOOD, AND HOUSING FOR THEIR CHILDREN. MADRASAS, IN MOST MUSLIM COUNTRIES TODAY, MADRASAS EXIST AS PART OF A BROADER EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE. ON THE WHOLE, THESE RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS ARE SUPPORTED BY PRIVATE

THESE MOSQUES BECAME SOCIAL FOCAL POINTS FOR GROWING COMMUNITIES; THEY DOUBLED UP AS SCHOOLS FOR LEARNING THE QURAN, BASIC INSTRUCTION IN MUSLIM RITUAL PRACTICES, AND LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION IN URDU, WITH ACCOMMODATIONS FOR

EDUCATION. BOTH ENLIGHTEN A PERSON BUT ONE TEACHES US ABOUT

EDUCATION AND SOCIAL NEEDS. CONTRARY TO GENERAL MISPERCEPTION, SEVERAL OF THESE SCHOOLS TEACH SECULAR SUBJECTS LIKE SCIENCE, MEDICINE, TECHNOLOGY, SOCIAL SCIENCES, AND HISTORY, AS WELL AS VOCATIONAL COURSES IN AGRICULTURE AND MECHANICS IN ADDITION TO CLASSICAL ISLAMIC TEXTS.

NEED TO CONSERVE:

THE MAJORITY OF MADRASAS PRESENT AN OPPORTUNITY, NOT A THREAT. FOR YOUNG VILLAGE CHILDREN, THESE SCHOOLS MAY BE THEIR ONLY PATH TO LITERACY. FOR MANY ORPHANS AND THE RURAL

ITS CEILING HAS NO SUPPORTING BEAMS AND IS ONE OF THE LARGEST SUCH ARCHED CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE WORLD. THE ROOF OF IMAMBARA IS MADE UP OF RICE HUSK WHICH MAKES THIS IMAMBARA A UNIQUE BUILDING. THERE ARE EIGHT SURROUNDING CHAMBERS OF VARYING ROOF HEIGHTS, PERMITTING THE SPACE ABOVE THESE TO BE RECONSTRUCTED AS A THREE-DIMENSIONAL LABYRINTH WITH PASSAGES CONNECTING EACH OTHER THROUGH 489 IDENTICAL DOORWAYS.

THE DESIGN OF THE MADRASAS LIKE ANY OTHER ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAS INFORMED BY ISLAMIC RULES AND PRINCIPLES AND REFLECTS THE SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC VALUES OF THE MUSLIM SOCIETY. DESPITE THE DIVERSITY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL TYPOLOGIES AMONG VARIOUS ISLAMIC SOCIETIES, SUCH PRINCIPLES HAVE RESULTED IN FORMATION OF COMMON SPATIAL QUALITIES IN ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL SPACES.

OVER THE CENTURIES, WE HAVE WITNESSED CERTAIN SPACES BEING GIVEN SPECIAL PRIORITIES BASED ON PEOPLE’S BELIEFS AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. AS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF A MADRASA IS TO IMPART EDUCATION, EDUCATIONAL SPACES HAVE BEEN PRIORITISED OVER THE OTHER SPACES. THIS IS EVIDENT FROM THE LEVEL OF ORNAMENTATION OVER DOOR, WINDOWS, CORNICES, AND ROOF. THE CLASSROOMS, CENTRAL HALL AND THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY ORNAMENTED WHILE THE OTHER SPACES ARE SIMPLE AND MODEST.

COURTYARD: THE COURTYARD IS USED FOR PRAYERS OCCASIONALLY WHILE IT IS JUST A PLACE FOR STU-

THE ORNAMENTATION OF THE FACADES MAKES USE OF ORGANIC FLORAL FORMS ARRANGED IN

DENTS TO RELAX AND HANGOUT. IT ACTS AS A TRANSITIONAL SPACE BETWEEN THE RESIDEN-

GEOMETRIC PATTERNS. THE FROMER BEING A HINDU ARCHITECTURE DERIVATIVE WHILE THE LATER

TIAL AND EDUCATIONAL SPACES.

BEING A FEATURE OF ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE.

THE BUILDING VOLUME IS A T SHAPED MASS WITH A CAVITY AT IT’S CENTER. THIS CAVITY IN THE FORM OF A COURTYARD ACT’S AS A DIVIDING SPACE BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATION ZONES. THIS CAVITY IS ALSO A DATUM OF THE SPACE AND IS VISIBLE FROM ALMOST ALL THE SPACES, ESTABLISHING VISUAL CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE VARIOUS ZONES. THE MORE ORNAMENTTED FRONT BLOCK COVERS UP THE NOT SO INTRICATELY DONE LATTER HALF AND THUS, THE APPEAL OF THE WHOLE IS NOT LOST. .
