Architecture of Light and Climate

Domed roofs create prominent silhouettes and are often finished with geometric ornament or colorful tile.

Decorated arched entrances form a clear threshold between public streets and interior spaces.

Muqarnas use repeated niche-like cells to articulate transitions, cornices, vaults, and domes.

Courtyards connect rooms around a shared outdoor space and support shade, privacy, and ventilation.

Ceramic tilework brings color, geometry, floral motifs, and calligraphy to architectural surfaces.

Carved screens and lattice windows filter light while allowing air to move through an interior.
