[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] While I was sidetracked on the search for mozarab art and its connection to Ethiopia, I ran across some other good info on the relationship between Islamic North Africa and Europe in the area of building codes. Muslim Spain provided the basis of much of what we call the European city plan, and these documents cover how Muslim building codes have influenced the development of European cities: Here: http://www.charrettecenter.com/nucouncil/go.asp?a=spf&pfk=3&gk=57 and here: http://www.charrettecenter.com/nucouncil/go.asp?a=spf&pfk=3&gk=57&skk=104&sktv=il and another: http://www.tndtownpaper.com/council/Hakim.htm All of this goes back to city planning as found in Egypt and elsewhere: http://www.design.upenn.edu/arch/news/Human_Settlements/cosmo.html And http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/house/towns.html Note that since the earliest times Egyptian cities have been fortified with surrounding walls and defenses for protection, which led to the development of what we see as the castles and fortress like structures found around the world today.
