Abstract

Considering the wealth of glorious religious buildings in the Timurid period in Iran, which was
contemporaneous with the Evolved Gothic period in Europe, a comparative study has been undertaken
to explore the architectural effects of these two periods on each other along with their similarities and
differences. 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 five
important buildings belonging to each period, the similarities and disparities of these two architectural
styles are investigated to shed further light on the interaction of the Timurid and Evolved Gothic
architecture. Despite the geographic distance, and religious and culture different between the Timurid
period in Iran and the Evolved Gothic in Europe, which overshadows the interaction of these two
periods, one can still witness that the religious architecture of the Evolved Gothic period has been
inspired by Timurid architecture in some respects, including building materials, interior decoration of
buildings and architectural style.
