520 1 $a"A mosque rises above the city, the small, ordered domes of the compound surrounding the enormous central dome of the prayer hall and towering minaret. How was such a structure built? By whom? And why? As he describes the construction of a fictional but typical Ottoman mosque of the late sixteenth century, acclaimed author and artist David Macaulay reveals that a mosque was just one part of a much larger complex of buildings. While the mosque served the spiritual and religious needs of the community, the surrounding buildings provided education, food for its students and the needy, a place for commerce, lodging for travelers, and even public baths. Planning and building a complex of structures to serve such diverse purposes was no easy task, but here David Macaulay describes the process clearly, demonstrating each step with his spectacular illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.
