Abstract

Considering the wealth of glorious religious buildings in the Timurid period in Iran, which wascontemporaneous with the Evolved Gothic period in Europe, a comparative study has been undertakento explore the architectural effects of these two periods on each other along with their similarities anddifferences. This is an applied historical research that adopts a library research method for data collection.By studying the political, economic, and cultural conditions of these periods and by reviewing fiveimportant buildings belonging to each period, the similarities and disparities of these two architecturalstyles are investigated to shed further light on the interaction of the Timurid and Evolved Gothicarchitecture. Despite the geographic distance, and religious and culture different between the Timuridperiod in Iran and the Evolved Gothic in Europe, which overshadows the interaction of these twoperiods, one can still witness that the religious architecture of the Evolved Gothic period has beeninspired by Timurid architecture in some respects, including building materials, interior decoration ofbuildings and architectural style.
