Sofya i Ark on Zombiecraft
This is a relativly large building I and some of my freinds built on Zombiecleo's Patreon Server Zombiecraft. The exterior of the mosque itself is inspired by the Ulugh Beg Madrasa in Samarkand and the Masjid-e-Kabud in Mazar, both are perfect examples of early Timurid architecture, which is itself heavily influenced by the Safavids and Mughals (of which it is a type of sister empire). Notable characteristics of Timurid architecture include shorter smooth minarets, large double bulbous domes and wide multi faceted iwans (though without Muqarnas which while popular in ilkhanid and safavid architecture was less common in timurid architecture), All of it of course covered in blue dominated polychromy tilework.
The real life images are taken simply from google and is just meant to show what the text is otherwise trying to describe.
The Sofya i Ark that we built on zombiecraft has taken some liberties to try and fit the interior and exterior together, The interior is based on early 17th century Hagia Sophia though with some liberties to brighten it up as the original block palette was too dark. Hagia Sophia is one of the prime examples of both byzantine and early ottoman architecture and has inspired most other traditional ottoman mosques.
