{"product_id":"inside-outside-islamic-art-and-architecture","title":"Inside\/Outside Islamic Art and Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen we walk into a gallery, we have a fairly good idea where the building begins and ends; and inside, while observing a painting, we are equally confident in distinguishing between the painting-proper and its frame and borders. Yet, things are often more complicated. A building defines an exterior space just as much as an interior, and what we perceive to be ornamental and marginal to a given painting may in fact be central to what it represents. In this volume, a simple question is presented: instead of dichotomous separations between inside and outside, or exterior and interior, what other relationships can we think of?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first book of its kind to grapple with this question, \u003ci\u003eInside\/Outside Islamic Art and Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on a wide spectrum of mediums and topics, including painted manuscripts, objects, architectural decoration, architecture and urban planning, and photography. Bringing together scholars with diverse methodologies—who work on a geographical span stretching from India to Spain and Nigeria, and across a temporal spectrum from the thirteenth to the twenty-first century—this original book also poses engaging questions about the boundaries of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251062395224,"sku":"9781350248786","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350248786.jpg?v=1770873333","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/inside-outside-islamic-art-and-architecture","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
