Explore #416 - 25-Nov-2009 La Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba es el monumento más importante de todo el Occidente islámico y uno de los más asombrosos del mundo. En su historia se resume la evolución completa del estilo omeya en España, además de los estilos gótico, renacentista y barroco de la construcción cristiana. El lugar que hoy ocupa nuestra Mezquita-Catedral parece haber estado, desde antiguo, dedicado al culto de diferentes divinidades. Bajo dominación visigoda se construyó en este mismo solar la basílica de San Vicente, sobre la que se edificó, tras el pago de parte del solar, la primitiva mezquita. Esta basílica, de planta rectangular fue compartida por los cristianos y musulmanes durante un tiempo. Cuando la población musulmana fue creciendo, la basílica fue adquirida totalmente por Abderraman I y destruida para la definitiva construcción de la primera Mezquita Alhama o principal de la ciudad. En la actualidad algunos elementos constructivos del edificio visigodo se encuentran integrados en el primer tramo de Abderraman I. La gran Mezquita consta de dos zonas diferenciadas, el patio o sahn porticado, donde se levanta el alminar (bajo la torre renacentista), única intervención de Abd al- Rahman III, y la sala de oración o haram. El espacio interior se dispone sobre un concierto de columnas y arcadas bicolores de gran efecto cromático (las de la foto). Cinco son las zonas en las que se divide el recinto, correspondiendo cada una de ellas a las distintas ampliaciones llevadas a cabo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explore #416 - 25-Nov-2009 The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is the most important monument of all the Western Islamic world, and one of the most amazing in the world. The evolution of the “Omeya” style in Spain is resumed in the history of the Mosque of Cordoba, as well as other styles such as the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque of the Christian architecture. It seems as if the place that the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba occupies nowadays was dedicated, from ancient times, to the cult of different divinities. In this same place, and during the Visigoth occupation, another building was constructed, the “San Vicente” Basilic. On top of this basilic and after paying half of the site, the primitive Mosque was constructed. This basilic, of rectangular shape, was shared for a period of time between Moslems and Christians. After the Muslim enlargement, the Basilic became property of Abderraman I, who destroyed it to construct the first “Mosque Alhama” or main Mosque of the city. Nowadays, some of the constructive elements of the Visigoth building are integrated in the first part of Abderraman I. The Great Mosque has two different areas: the courtyard or “arcade sahn“, where the “alminar” (minaret) is constructed (beneath the Renaissance tower) by Abd al-Rahman III, and the “haram” or praying hall. The interior space consists of a forest of columns and red and white arches giving a strong chromatic effect (the photography). The site is divided into 5 different areas, corresponding each one of them to the different expansions that have occurred on it.

The shape of a church is indefinitely sketched into the landscape in the latest project by architecture duo, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh. Comprised of Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh, their series of see-through churches, "Reading Between the Lines," are not intended to be functional as shelter. They are more like sculptures that borrow design inspiration from local churches' architecture in the area. See more after the jump!
