Abstract
Contemporary scholarship about the architecture of the Islamic world continues to expand with new explorations beyond the ‘canon’ of high-profile historical examples typically included in surveys. Recent publications now include studies of lesser-known buildings, new thematic lenses and studies of contemporary buildings designed for and by Muslims.

One may cite the fact that the phrase ‘Islamic architecture’ continues to be used in a world where it would seem strange to speak of ‘Christian architecture’.” Frishman, Martin and H-U Khan.
