References of Islamic Styles and their Reflections on the Design of Historical Interior Spaces

Summary According to differences in opinions about the references to Islamic architecture and its true beginnings, what is beyond doubt is that Muslims established their leadership that deals with environmental assets of raw materials on the one hand and environmental adaptation on the other hand, as architecture in every time and place is the product of using intellectual accumulations and experiences mixed with every new intellectual and civilizational revolution is such that it is difficult to determine the dependency of any architecture in a place without seeing the influence of its neighboring civilizations and the amount of influence and influence each one has on the other. Crimean architecture is a mixture of architectural styles brought by the new conquerors from their original homes and modern and environmental requirements. The result was mosque architecture with an elaborate architectural distinction, including mosques, Sufi hospices, religious schools, and palaces, the most famous of which was Bakhchisaray, the ruling palace of the Kayi dynasty. The current research consists of an introduction to the research. From this, the problem of the current research emerges by answering the following question: What is the action of the Islamic religion in designing the interior spaces of the palaces of the Crimean khans?

It is also objectively determined by the Islamic styles spatially in the Crimean Peninsula and temporally from the thirteenth century to the eighteenth century. The researcher used the historical approach in addition to the descriptive approach in its research procedures, the current research includes three sections: the first section: Islamic architecture references, the second section: theories of architectural leadership, and the third section: Islamic architectural leadership and its design role in the interior space.
