Geometrical Analysis of Tomb of Shah Rukh-ne-Alam Multan

Abstract

In this paper analysis of Tomb Architecture in South Punjab Area will highlight the importance of interaction of regular geometric shapes used in symmetrical way in Tomb of Shah Rukhne Alam Multan. The complex geometry has identified in design layouts and level plans of Tomb Architecture points to potential use of octagonal system. The tomb has octagonal shape which is derived from Gazzi Ilahiconsists of intersections of many squares. As the geometrical patterns are the main essence of the tomb architecture. This research illustrates that how this multilevel largest brick and mud dome structure stands out without using concrete in it
