For the unit on Islamic design, I reviewed Kristina P's blog and Megan S's blog. Kristina really used great pictures to show how mosques were the main focus of Islamic design. She mentioned how mosques are the center facility for prayer and worship, going there multiple times a day. The detail of design is very intricate and makes their interiors look rich and high quality. Kristina's modern applications and mosque interiors show this very clearly. Megan talked about how one of her friends is Muslim and goes to this restaurant in Chicago. I too have heard of this from my Muslim friend, but have never seen pictures of it. It really does exemplify the style of Islamic design. I also really enjoyed watching her video she posted. It showed how there are multiple places around the world that have mosques and how styles how mosques are different.
