This is a great film made by Aljazeera about structures made on water by a renowned african architect Kunle Adeyemi, the project was made in Lagos,Nigeria.....A very good experiment in design and new approach to problem solving....though it was a break through at first when the design was done, but try to research the current conditions of the design as you may learn a thing or two about life spans of design ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

In school we are continiously programmed to design for urban settings and become highly familiar with the life style and demands related........but have you ever wondered about modern rural archiectural practice???? Well you will find out something here......Its a film called "The Village Architect" narrated by Brad Pit and featuring a unique architecture virtuoso, Brian MacKay- Lyons from MacKay- Lyons sweetApple Architects ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽

Hey guys its history and theory tuesdays😀

Today we have brought you a master piece of islamic Architectural heritages.

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque or Sultan Ahmet Mosque (Turkish: Sultan Ahmet Camii) is a historic mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. A popular tourist site, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque continues to function as a mosque today; men still kneel in prayer on the mosque's lush red carpet after the call to prayer. The Blue Mosque, as it is popularly known, was constructed between 1609 and 1616 during the rule of Ahmed I. Its Külliye contains Ahmed's tomb, a madrasah and a hospice. Hand-painted blue tiles adorn the mosque’s interior walls, and at night the mosque is bathed in blue as lights frame the mosque’s five main domes, six minarets and eight secondary domes. It sits next to the Hagia Sophia, another popular tourist site.

After the Peace of Zsitvatorok and the crushing loss in the 1603–18 war with Persia, Sultan Ahmet I, decided to build a large mosque in Istanbul to reassert Ottoman power. It would be the first imperial mosque for more than forty years. While his predecessors had paid for their mosques with the spoils of war, Ahmet I procured funds from the Treasury, because he had not gained remarkable victories.

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque has five main domes, six minarets, and eight secondary domes. The design is the culmination of two centuries of Ottoman mosque development. It incorporates some Byzantine Christian elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect, Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendour. It has a forecourt and special area for adulation. In the middle it has a big fountain. On the upper side it has a big chain. The upper area is made up of 20000 ceramic tiles each having 60 tulip designs. In the lower area it has 200 stained glass windows.
