For the Islamic design style, I reviewed Rose's and Samantha's blog posts.
Rose describes the mihrab which is a semicircular niche in the wall of a mosque that is used to indicate the location of Mecca (the qibla). They were designed to give the impression of a passage to Mecca.
Samantha introduced the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed. She described the beauty and intricacy of the interior. This mosque is also commonly referred to as the Blue Mosque. I decided to look up some more information about this particular mosque and it was very interesting.
