A. ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE
1.THE WAY WHAT KORAN COME TO THE ARCHITECTURE : The revelations in the Koran, people have the confidence with the supper nature power, it’s GOD. Every individual Muslim must be upright, righteous and just on his own account, but humble and totally submissive to the will of God. Therefore in their architecture ,It was really important to create a sense of space evoking spirituality of the environment, a feeling of peace, harmony and the humbleness of the individual. ----------> Monumentality and embellishment were not predefined objectives in creating such spaces 2.THE BUILDING WHAT REFLECTED ISLAM The principal Islamic architectural types are: the Mosque, the Tomb, the Palace and the Fort. And the reflection from ISLAM is not so strongs in the other building such as: public baths, fountains and domestic architecture. ------> So when we research about the ISLAMIC Architecture, we’ll research it throught the Mosque Architecture, Tomb Architecture, Palace Architecture .... 3.THE DEVELOPING HISTORY OF ISLAM HAVE EFFECT TO ARCHITECTURE Muslim went to human in 7th century BC, and this regilius have an strong developing. Today, it have 1.3 billion of Islam. When it developed to every where in the world, the its effect varies from country to country and the Islamic Architecture also varies from place to place.

Sino-Islamic architecture 7. Indonesian-Malay architecture 8. Sahelian-Islamic architecture 9. Somali-Islamic architecture Afghanistan is in Persian style category |
B. PERSIAN CATEGORY
1. Hypostyle- Plan: The mosques have plans are square or rectangular
in plan with an enclosed courtyard and a covered prayer hall - because of the warm Mediterranean and Middle Eastern climates, the courtyard served to accommodate the large number of worshippers during Friday prayers -Most early hypostyle mosques have flat roofs on top of prayer halls, necessitating the use of numerous columns and supports |

REPEATING SIGNAL
What is the sleep?
What is the sleep?
for me, sleep like a constant repetition of the concepts that I never really realized in reality. Sometimes I wake up and suddenly felt really looking forward to something, as though I had a very long experience in sleep. It may be the result of a dream, a thought that I had brought from reality. The feeling for me was mysterious and strange. It's like you actually have two lives, one when you wake and the other when you sleep.
I want to put the constant of this sleep to Afghanistan museum. Where the viewer from falling asleep from the country dropping, with the dome and the long corridor.
A sleep only really become sleep when you wake up, so I think more about where you will be awakened in the building, it could be a bright, reality meets the eye as an accident, and sudden rush.
You wake up and feel great because you was born into this life.
