Design as conversation:

The Palace of Alhambra is one of the best examples of topic “design as conversation,” because the whole palace discuss its past and existence.

It doesn't matter if a person knows that this palace was built by Moors because one sight of this building will tell him who created this magnificent building.

Another common part of Islamic architecture is Mocarabe, which are used on the capitals of the columns of this palace. The whole palace is full of minute and beautiful patterns containing Arabic characters. Patterns are in red, blue, black, and gold colors. The palace is full of floral and geometric designs which is also an important part of Islamic Architecture. 

All around the world most of the Islamic architecture is similar, which consist of arches, domes, minarets, vaults, freezes, Mocarabe, Arabic calligraphy, floral and geometric patterns. An Islamic building weather it is in middle-east, Asia, Europe or any other part of the world must be based on these architectural structures.

    

The palace of Alhambra has a lot to see in it like the Gate of Justice, The court of Lions, the fountains, The Hall of Ambassadors; The Tower of Canaries; The Court of Myrtles, The Hall of Justice, many gardens, chambers, towers and balconies.

Alhambra has been an inspiration for many artists for their designs, songs, novels, and movies due to its panoramic view which is very romantic.   

Person gets into a trans while looking at the pictures of this palace, I personally want to see this great example of Moorish Architecture, I guess I will enjoy this conversation as I can read the Islamic Calligraphy.
