| Summary, etc. |
The author demonstrates how space ordering in premodern islamic architecture reflects the transcendental and the sublime. Akkach introduces a notion of spatial sensibility that is shaped by religious conceptions of time and space. Religious beliefs about the cosmos, geography, the human body, and constructed forms are all underpinned by a consistent spatial sensibility anchored in medieval geocentrism. |
