Main Gate Muqarnas of Mosques Designed by Architect Sinan in Istanbul

Detailed architectural data for the main gate muqarnas (ornamental vaulting) in mosques designed by the Ottoman architect Sinan in Istanbul. The dataset includes 723.6 MB of PDF drawings, JPG images, DWG CAD files, GH Grasshopper codes, and 3DM Rhino models. It was created by Asli Agirbas and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze geometric patterns based on detailed drawings and orthophotos.
• Reconstruct 3D models of muqarnas based on provided scan files and Grasshopper codes.
• Study the layering and cell-type composition of muqarnas based on plan drawings and perspectives.
• Compare architectural details across different mosques designed by Sinan.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 723.6 MB, indicating substantial visual and model data.
• Includes multiple complementary file formats (PDF, JPG, DWG, GH, 3DM) for different analysis methods.
• Explicitly focuses on a specific architectural element (main gate muqarnas) by a single renowned architect.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for structured analysis.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
