The architecture models displayed in the Rockefeller Library’s Finn Reading Room cases were created by students in Professor Sheila Bonde’s lecture course “Architectures of Islam” and in Professor Itohan Osayimwese’s lecture course, “Architecture and Urbanism of Africa.”

Professor Bonde’s class looked at case studies of Islamic architecture spanning fourteen centuries and three continents, while Professor Osayimwese’s class looked at the built environments of Africa from earliest times to the present.

Students were asked to create a model based on a building from the Islamic world or from the African world.
