Online resources: Summary: "Traditional Islamic Principles of Built Environment" by Hisham Mortada is a scholarly book that explores the underlying principles that have historically shaped Islamic architecture and urban design. Published in 2003, the book goes beyond a simple historical survey to provide a systematic analysis of the cultural, social, and religious tenets that guided Muslim builders and city planners. Mortada argues that Islamic cities were not designed by a single master plan but rather evolved organically according to a set of unwritten, yet deeply ingrained, principles derived from the Quran and Islamic law (Sharia).
