Alhambra Honeycomb, by Ahmed Al.Badawy

One of the most significance examples of Muqarnas ornament. Alhambra palace is a very famous source for this kind of architecture elements. The looking up view of the hall of Ambassadors is one of the most remarkable photos for Islamic architecture. In this hall, you can’t recognize the exact space shapes. Muqarnas shift your eyes between the central doom to walls in very impressive and intelligent way. for my experience, you still part of the nature inside the place and this is what are missing today in our modern world.
