Islamic architecture is made up of Mosques, tombs, palaces, and forts. They had lesser buildings such as public baths and fountains. This style is derived from Muhammad's time, taking inspiration from Islam and the Byzantines. This style of building involves grand scale jewels and gold encrusted into the structures with ornate patterns made through the use of geometry. Patterns are a major part of this style, and very rich materials for the construction of structures.

 

Islamic architecture includes vast quantities of gold and other precious metals, as well as geometry in complex forms.
