A version of the course Monuments of Islamic Architecture presented by Professors Gulru Necipoglu and David Roxburgh at Harvard University. The course presents an introduction to ten iconic monuments of the Islamic world from the 
beginning of Islam to the early modern period. The course introduces various types of building-mosques, palaces, multifunctional complexes-and city types and the factors that shaped them, artistic, patronal, socio-political, religio-cultural, and economic. Each case study is divided into two lectures. The first presents the monument or city by “walking” through it. The second is devoted to themes elicited from the example, developed in light of comparative monuments, sites, and/or written sources, and to problems of patronage, production, audience and meaning as they pertain to architectural history. This collection comprises 22 PowerPoint lectures.
