Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 In "Inde Islamique", 1971, Andreas Volwahsen presents a discussion of the architecture of Taj Mahal (1632-1652 CE), using drawings of several buildings for comparision. She compares the dome of tomb of Tamerlane at Samarkand (1404 CE) , facade of Khan Khanan (I think same person as Hindi poet Rahim) at Delhi (1626 CE), the proportions of the central bulding with four minars of tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula at Agra (1628) and Jahangir tomb at Lahore (1628) with Taj Mahal. She suggests how Taj Mahal's plan may be derived by using 5 geometrical operations. Yashwant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
