Summary
A groundbreaking analysis of the Kok Gumbaz Mosque's dome in Shakhrisyabz reveals sophisticated architectural innovations that integrate structural stability with climatic adaptation. The study identifies key relationships between the dome’s geometry, load-bearing systems, and transitional elements—particularly the squinch-like transitions—that enhance durability while minimizing material use. Findings underscore the mosque’s advanced engineering, offering critical insights for both historic preservation and modern design. By examining wall thickness and material integration, researchers demonstrate how 15th-century techniques remain relevant today.
