The building of a mosque wes considered to be a charitable act on the part of the patron, and was generally accompanied by the provision of an endowmentin perpetuity through the creation of a wagf or pious foundation. It was widely believed that. charitable acts constitute one of the three enduring legacies ofa Musiim’s life! Yet, at the came time, many patrons were surely motivated to build mosques.as symbols of political or dynastic power, or of the presence of the ruling power in a Jand conquered by the forces of islam. In the pre-modem periods such acts could also be categorized as acts of the ‘state if the patron was @ ruler and if no real distinction between private and state acts could be made.In today's ‘world, individual patronage, though far outnumbered by other forms, continues to be overwhelmingly by men, and isonly rarely also an act of state? Featured in this chapter ere mosques that were initiated and financed by individuals who did not normaly have recourse to extensive governmental or community funding and retained control ver design decisions Such perscnal control does not necessarily yield more daring departures from type or produce innovations of mosque des, for the ‘taste of the individual patron is usually limited by that of the group or the society, in practice, individual patrons have ‘often sought the services of architects already known for specific types of design, leaving tte room forthe architect ‘to press fora design which departed in any major way from ‘the easily recognizable and understood features ofthe eae eee (Gove!

For his develapment of the main hypostyle hal, Venturi focused on the same key historica] models as tose used by the ather architects, but chose the Mosque ofbrTulun in Caio ashi inspiration for ordering the vast interior space. The repetition ofthe long screens of arches, each one witha band of caligrephic iscriptions, was the compelng image he transformed and elaborated on the necessarily vast scale ofthe nev mosque. No longer constrained by structural limitations such asthe need to support the arches with pir, the chodses to suspen thescreens from the cling and thus free the floot.
