This is a definite 7/7, Ali. I wish PN allowed me to rate it that way. What an excellent image. Regards, Masood.

Richard, Ghulam, Hans-Peter, David, Kaushik, Ali, Masood, and Rachel and her husband!

Thank you very much for your comments.

The floor of the main hall which has either 6 or 8 sides is a metaphor of the earth, and as the walls go higher the number of sides begin to increase, making the dome a circle with infinite sides; the dome, being the heavens in contrast to the earth.

On the dome you can see how everything is dissolving to become that one point at the top; this a metaphor of unity (God). Steps from earth to heaven and to unity (God).

Regards. Ali.

I also believe art and mathematics are very close. One needs a great deal of phantasy and passion. This image is an example. Magnificent architecture. perfectly composed. cheers Jana
