In her blog, Rachael talked about how Islamic design is unique to the other styles we have learned about thus far. Unlike many others, Islamic design created many of their own features and styles for building instead of taking things used before them and using that as a basis for their design. She also commented about how outdoor space was extensively used, such as at the Taj Mahal, which I thought was an interesting point that I had not considered before.
Sammy discussed how mosques during this time period used brighter, lighter colors throughout, and were specifically concerned with texture rather than the rich, dark materials that had been seen previously. I really liked the pictures she chose for examples of current applications. They showed the use of color, texture, and pattern that was so important and were great representations of this time period.
