The Sense of Unity: The Sufi Tradition in Persian Architecture (Colin St John Wilson Interest) (1973)

Despite its extraordinary richness, Islamic architecture has been rather neglected for its archetypal and symbolic significance. The Sense of Unity, a handsomely illustrated volume and the only full-length work of its kind, Nader Ardalan and Laleh Bakhtiar examine the architecture of Persia as a manifestation of the Islamic point of view and demonstrate the synthesis of traditional thought and traditional form.
