Synopsis

Explore the design visions for a landmark Bahá’í temple crafted as a nine‑sided polygon with a radiant central dome. This book presents the architectural concept and a suite of nine design treatments, each showing a different style while keeping the same structural core.

The text frames the architectural problem and how the Mashrak-El-Azkar is planned to sit within a larger complex of grounds, gardens, and approaches. It then offers detailed design drawings and style descriptions, illustrating how form, function, and symbolism come together in a public, spiritual edifice.


  • Nine‑sided plan and a domed rotunda supported by nine piers

  • Detailed drawings: elevation, plan, roof (or crypt plan in some designs), and vertical section

  • Eight distinct architectural styles explained with practical construction notes

  • Notes on site layout, park grounds, and radial avenues connected to the temple



Ideal for readers interested in architectural history, religious architecture, and monumental design projects of the early 20th century.
