The Amiriya in Rada: The History and Restoration of a Sixteenth-Century Madrasa in the Yemen - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
This volume is devoted to one of the most important 16th-century buildings still extant in the Yemen - the Amiriya Madrasa in Rada. The building is fully described and its place in the development of Rasulid and Tahirid architecture fully discussed. A final section details the extensive restoration of the building which was led by Dr Al-Radi of the University of New York's Institute of Fine Arts over a period of four years. The project employed a team of local craftsmen and made full use of indigenous materials to return the monument to its former glory. One intention of this volume is to encourage other developing countries to use their resources to rejuvenate their own national heritage. Dr Venetia Porter of the British Museum and Dr Ruth Barnes of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford have made detailed contributions regarding the architectural decoration and history of the building.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Pages in unused condition. No Dustcover . Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> This is the story of an historic building, the 'Amiriya in Rada', Yemen, which I first saw in 1978. On a second visit to Rada' in 1982, I noticed the marked deterioration in its appearance and felt that immediate and drastic measures were essential if the building were to remain standing. The unique and hybrid architectural style of the "Amiriya, its imposing size, and the extraordinary decoration of its interior spaces made its survival essential. The optimism with which the restoration project began was infectious, and before long there was a strong 'Amiriya lobby in San'a. The General Organisation of Antiquities, Museums, and Manuscripts (GOMM), for whom I worked as a con-sultant, was headed by a venerable scholar, the Qadi Isma'il al-Akwa', and he was enthusiastic about the undertaking. Having his support and backing guaranteed the success of the project. Qadi Isma'il al-Akwa' was the Yemeni minister most directly responsible for the conservation programme of the 'Amiri.
