Abstract

The Qutb complex in Delhi contains the array of early Sultanate Period Muslim monuments that demonstrate the earliest artwork development stage of Muslim monuments from 12 to 13th century especially the architecture style and the stone carving patterns that exists in the monuments of this complex like in masjid Quwat-ul Islam (1191 A.D), Qutab Minar (1202 A.D), Illttutmish Tomb (1235 A.D), Alai Darwaza (1311 A.D). These splendid monuments have a new architectural style in India. Their beautiful carvings in red sandstone and marble that includes the patterns of arabesque style along with Kufic and Naskh calligraphy, the delicate floral and geometric patterns along with some Hindu motifs that depicts the earliest amalgamation of Hindu and Islamic architecture within the subcontinent. This paper not only aim to explore the architectural plan of this Qutb complex under different monarchs but also the decoration of this Qutb complex, its analysis and the aesthetic changes of design after the amalgamation of two different cultures. This complex is famous not only for its architecture but also for varieties of decorative arts. This paper also attempts to discover not only aesthetics but also the traditional and regional logic for using these motifs. This explorative study is from available historical data and literature. In the end concludes that the amalgamated motifs of decoration was excellent experiment and first addition in the design vocabulary of Indo-Muslim art and architecture. These designs provide serenity and majestic feelings to these monuments and in whole to Qutb complex.

库特布综合大楼(德里)的建筑方案及其装饰分析
德里的库特布建筑群包含一系列早期苏丹时期的穆斯林纪念碑,展示了12至13世纪穆斯林纪念碑最早的艺术发展阶段,特别是建筑风格和石雕图案,存在于该建筑群的纪念碑中,如清真寺Quwat-ul Islam(公元1191年),Qutab Minar(公元1202年),illtutmiish墓(公元1235年),Alai Darwaza(公元1311年)。这些壮丽的纪念碑在印度有一种新的建筑风格。他们美丽的红色砂岩和大理石雕刻,包括阿拉伯式风格的图案,以及库菲克和纳什克书法,精致的花卉和几何图案以及一些印度教图案,描绘了印度和伊斯兰教建筑在次大陆上最早的融合。本文不仅探讨了库特布建筑群在不同君主统治下的建筑规划,还探讨了库特布建筑群的装饰、分析以及两种不同文化融合后的设计美学变化。这个建筑群不仅以其建筑而闻名,而且以各种装饰艺术而闻名。本文试图揭示这些母题的使用不仅具有美学意义,而且具有传统逻辑和地域逻辑。这项探索性研究来自于现有的历史数据和文献。最后得出结论,装饰图案的融合是对印度-穆斯林艺术和建筑设计语汇的一次极好的尝试和首次补充。这些设计为这些纪念碑和整个库特布建筑群提供了宁静和雄伟的感觉。
