Islamic Design Review

I reviewed my friend Dana's blog on Islamic design and I found it interesting that while praying, the culture at this time would pray on their knees facing the mecca. Those who practiced Islam prayed 5 times per day.Both Dana and I find the Taj Mahal such an amazing piece of architecture that you can be impressed with immediately. The detail, blood, sweat and tears that it took to make this piece is unimaginable.

My classmate Samantha had noted that the Islamic design period influenced an era of mixing and matching with textures and colors. She said that in this time the walls looked like carpet  due too the intense tile work and because they were also very good carpet makers.  They used many different patterns and colors that had not been seen before.
