<p>Architectural qualities, their evolution, and characteristics vary in the Islamic World and they are manifested differently across regions including high-end and regional examples.

<p>Architectural qualities, their evolution, and characteristics vary in the Islamic World and they are manifested differently across regions including high-end and regional examples. The impact of architectural qualities such as materiality, ornamentation, and light have shaped spatial perception and organisation in Islamic architecture. Looking at two mosques, from different contexts - the Arabian Peninsula and India, and comparing their historical background and architectural qualities, we can get a better understanding of the variety of Islamic architectural heritage.</p>

<p>Adaptive reuse and urban regeneration are multidisciplinary and integrated approaches to heritage preservation and development, built around community engagement and empowerment. Rehabilitation and reprogramming of built assets should be complemented by infrastructural provisions as well as initiatives for local social and economic development.</p>

<p>Comprehensive conservation and restoration programmes for historic buildings as well as integrated urban revitalisation can enhance the architectural qualities of historic cities. Such attempts are useful when they are put into action, while looking at historic Islamic sites as living environments rather than just tourist attractions, in order to sustain their value for future generations.</p>

<p>The cosmopolitan identity of land-port and sea-port cities of the Islamic world highlights the impact of political changes, trade, and exchange in their evolution. These unique conditions create an amalgamation of local cultural expressions and external influences enriching the urban and architectural character of these cities. Residential, civic, and religious architectural examples of cross-road cities stand as witnesses of the sociocultural changes in both 'high' and 'peripheral' Islamic contexts.</p><p><br></p><p>The focus of this presentation is case studies on Timbuktu, Mali, and Muscat, Oman.</p>
