Jafar Eskarbaksh is fourteen years old. During his school break, he learns how to make the special blue tiles that are needed to restore the ancient dome of Oljaytu Mausoleum, in the North-West desert of Iran. The 672-year-old tomb stands in the centre of Jafar’s village of Soltaniyeh. The art and chemistry of making the special blue glazes that seem to shimmer in the desert light was lost for many years. // Jafar Eskarbaksh est âgé de 14 ans. Lors des vacances scolaires, il apprend à fabriquer les très particulières tuiles bleues requises pour restaurer l’ancien dôme du mausolée d'Oldjaïtu, situé dans le désert, dans le nord-ouest de l’Iran. Ce tombeau vieux de 672 ans est situé au centre du village de Sultaniya, où habite Jafar. L’art de fabriquer ces tuiles au bleu unique qui scintillent dans la lumière du désert avait disparu depuis de nombreuses années.

Soltaniyeh
The central magnet of Soltaniyeh's several ruins is the Mausoleum of Il-khan Öljeitü also known as Muhammad Khodabandeh, traditionally known as the Dome of Soltaniyeh in Soltaniyeh city, Zanjan Province. The structure, erected from 1302 to 1312 AD, has the oldest double-shell dome in Iran. This view of the construction was made by Dieulafoy but is disputed by André Godard. In Godard's view it is a normal, if spectacularly large dome, with a thin skin on top for the faience and is in no way a double dome. Its importance in the Muslim world may be compared to that of Brunelleschi's cupola for Christian architecture. It is one of the largest brick domes in the world, just at the theoretical engineering limit for a brick dome and the third largest dome in the world after the domes of Florence Cathedral and Hagia Sophia. The Dome of Soltaniyeh paved the way for more daring Iranian-style cupola constructions in the Muslim world, such as the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasavi and the Taj Mahal. Much of its exterior decoration has been lost, but the interior retains superb mosaics, faience, and murals. People have described the architecture of the building as “anticipating the Taj Mahal.”

Le dome de Soltanieh
Le dôme de Soltaniyeh, par sa somptueuse apparence, constitue l’un des joyaux architecturaux exceptionnels de l’#Iran. Le dôme de Soltaniyya montre bien le progrès de l’architecture iranienne au Moyen Âge après l’arrivée de l’islam.
Ce dôme a été établie sur les ordres d'Al Jayto, le moine roi d'origine mongole. Le mausolée d’Oljeitu fut construit entre 1302 et 1312 dans la ville de Soltaniyeh, capitale des tribus mongoles Ilkhanides. Situé dans la province de Zanjan, à quelque 240 km de #Téhéran dans le nord-ouest de l’Iran, Soltaniyeh est l’un des exemples les plus saisissants de réalisations architecturales perses et un monument clé dans le développement de l’architecture islamique. À l’origine, ce fut un mausolée érigé pour accueillir les dépouilles mortelles des grands de l’islam comme l’imam Husayn et Ali. Cependant, c’est Oldjaïtou qui fut le premier à concevoir et à formuler l’idée d’un projet de construction de la ville de Soltaniyeh et de ce magnifique dôme. Il eut même l’idée de faire du lieu la capitale de la région. Nous sommes en 1302 : l’année à laquelle Oldjaïtou passa à l’acte. Son époque fut la plus glorieuse période de Soltaniyeh. En raison de nombreuses rivalités, il renonça au projet et fit du monument son propre mausolée.

Islamic architecture
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Islamic architecture encompasses a wide range of both secular and religious styles from the early history of Islam to the present day for today it is known as Islamic architecture was influenced by Roman, Byzantine, Persian and all other lands which the Muslims conquered in the 7th and 8th centuries. Further east, it was also influenced by Chinese and Indian architecture as Islam spread to the Southeast Asia. It developed distinct characteristics in the form of buildings, and the decoration of surfaces with Islamic calligraphy and geometric and interlace patterned ornament. The principal Islamic architectural types for large or public buildings are: the Mosque, the Tomb, the Palace and the Fort. From these four types, the vocabulary of Islamic architecture is derived and used for other buildings such as public baths, fountains and domestic architecture.Many of the buildings which are mentioned in this article are listed as World Heritage Sites. Some of them, like the Citadel of Aleppo, have suffered significant damage in the ongoing Syrian Civil War.Different approaches are taken to study traditional Islamic architecture, historical and conceptual, Nader Ardalan is one of those to analysed traditional Islamic architecture based on Gnosticism
