Annemarie Schimmel Memorial Lecture: Landscapes of Sufi Space in Mughal Delhi and Lahore

Annemarie Schimmel Memorial Lecture: James Wescoat, Aga Khan Professor of Islamic Architecture, School of Architecture and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Mughal tomb-gardens often sought physical proximity to Sufi shrines in ways that reshaped them in their era, and ours. This presentation explores the evolving spatial relationships between Mughal and Sufi landscapes of Delhi and Lahore— from Humayun’s tomb-garden in the Nizamuddin area of Delhi to the Mian Mir tomb-complex of Lahore.
