Gadrooned-Dome's Muqarnas-Corbel: Analysis and Decoding Historical Drawings

Abstract

This paper analyzes the type of muqarnas (muqamas-corbel) that appeared under some gadrooned domes during the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries in Egypt and Central Asia. It starts with a study of the gadrooned dome type, its proper terminology, origin, evolution, and sub-types. Then, the paper defines the muqarnas-corbel under gadroons, presents the buildings where it appeared, suggests its formal origins, draws an evolution map, and concludes its regional stylistic attributes. Finally, and based on the above, it decodes two historical muqarnas-corbel drawings into possible three-dimensional forms
