Samer Akkach's "Cosmology and Architecture in Pre-Modern Islam: An Architectural Reading of Mystical Ideas" is a work that anyone interested in the interplay between Islamic cosmology and traditional Islamic architecture should pick up. Insofar as the spiritual economy of Islam is concerned the Absolute is postured as pure `Object', and so cosmology is an integral part of its metaphysical dialectic. The inner cosmology, or the world of the psyche, is an aspect of Sufi metaphysical discourse--how could it not be--but it is the cosmological that is given the emphasis. Understanding how the cosmos was envisaged by the luminaries of the Islamic tradition is a most important step in "breathing" the air of that dispensation of sacred names and forms commonly known as Islamic.
