The ongoing debate among practitioners and in academia about the meaning and understanding of Islamic architecture will be energized by this book.

Divided into three sections the book covers: *meaning from Faith, which draws meaning from the Islamic faith in order to propose a built environment that is universally beneficial*analysis of History, which examines historical buildings and planning concepts, and suggest how to apply lessons learned to contemporary practice*contemporary Trends, which discusses current trends in architecture, education and socio-economic aspects of various Muslim countries.

Illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to students and scholars, practising architects and planners alike.
