Více o knize

Eight of the ten essays are from a 1994 conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts, sponsored by the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University. They explore such aspects as the social significance of transforming the landscape in the early 17th century, the royal gardens of the Safivid period, the suburban landscape of 16th-century Istanbul, the Mughal waterfront garden, and evidence from a medieval Persian agricultural manual.
