Essay

Your assignment for this module is to compare and contrast the development of Ottoman and Safavid architecture. Try to identify the key features of each dynasty's architecture (you will probably want to focus on mosques, though you should feel free to discuss/include any building type) and provide a brief outline of how the style evolved to the point it did. What are the sources/models for each dynasty's architectural style? Is there something inherently Turkish or Persian about the forms used for both buildings and their decoration?

Your assignment should be three pages in length
