Lecture: Dome and Knowledge in Al-Aqsa Architecture
A session explaining the relation between architectural elements—dome, prayer hall, courtyard—and knowledge-based reading of the Haram.
The lecture treats the domes as architectural elements with strong visual presence, focusing on how we look at the place: what do we see first? What disappears when we settle for the golden dome alone?
Session themes
- Distinguishing the Dome of the Rock from the Qibli prayer hall.
- The Dome of the Chain as a companion element in reading the courtyard.
- How we teach looking without reduction.
Registration is open to interested participants via the contact page until capacity is reached. Reference materials are sent to participants after the session.
