The Muslim Architecture Research Program (MARP) was an independent research organization and publisher active from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Based in Zürich, Switzerland, it was primarily driven by the architectural historian and author Amjad Bohumil Prochazka. The program dedicated itself to documenting, surveying, and analyzing the historical structures, evolution, and regional features of Islamic architecture across the globe. Its core published work was a series of documentary books under the collective title Architecture of the Islamic Cultural Sphere. Each of the six volumes produced includes a detailed discussion of its topic and hundreds of precise technical drawings. (In the numeration of these books, volumes 2b and 4b were never completed.) Each book was published in a limited issue and all have been out of print for over thirty years. MARP itself is no longer active.

Description de la boutique

Champlain Valley Books seeks to acquire the private libraries of academic professionals, in particular college professors of the Humanities.
