Abstract

Asia has a variety of diverse ancient cultures and civilizations. In this paper, we studied the architecture of a UNESCO tentative heritage site: Badshahi Mosque Lahore (BMLH, 1671–1673), built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir (AA). The site is special since it had the largest mosque title (human capacity = 100,000) in the world from 1673 to 1986, has great architectural importance, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. Various mosque architectures (MA) emerged over the past 1400 years worldwide to preserve each region's diversity, identity, and culture. A documentation visit was arranged to study this site and feel the real architecture of the Mughals after decades of preserved form. The study found that BMLH underwent significant alterations while keeping the original MA. This unique study further focused on the basic architecture of the Mughal Era. A detailed study of the architectural themes of BMLH showed that the architectural style of this heritage included regional, cultural, and traditional impacts. By analyzing the architectural themes and distinctive features of BMLH, we have uncovered the distinct regional, religious, and psychological influences that led to Mughal-era mosque architecture's development. Further documentation was reported about the current structural situation of Badshahi Mosque; the number of seepages has been pointed out, and several decays were sighted during our visit. For this significant site's perfect preservation, it was proposed that high-end preservation strategies be implemented in the future.

探索拉合尔巴德沙希清真寺的建筑及其影响:联合国教科文组织暂定遗产

亚洲有着多种多样的古老文化和文明。在本文中，我们研究了联合国教科文组织暂定遗产的建筑:拉合尔巴德沙希清真寺(BMLH, 1671-1673)，由莫卧儿皇帝奥朗则布·阿拉姆吉尔(AA)建造。该遗址的特殊之处在于，从1673年到1986年，它拥有世界上最大的清真寺称号(容纳10万人)，具有重要的建筑意义，是世界上最受欢迎的旅游景点之一。在过去的1400年里，世界各地出现了各种各样的清真寺建筑(MA)，以保护每个地区的多样性、身份和文化。安排了一次文献访问，研究这个遗址，感受经过几十年保存的莫卧儿王朝的真实建筑。研究发现，在保持原有MA的情况下，BMLH发生了显著的变化。这项独特的研究进一步集中在莫卧儿时代的基本建筑上。对BMLH建筑主题的详细研究表明，该遗产的建筑风格包括地域、文化和传统影响。通过分析BMLH的建筑主题和特色，我们发现了导致莫卧儿时代清真寺建筑发展的独特地域、宗教和心理影响。据报还有关于巴德沙希清真寺目前结构情况的进一步文件;在我们参观期间，已经指出了渗漏的数量，并发现了几处腐蚀。为了使这一重要遗址得到完美的保护，提出了未来实施高端保护策略的建议。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
