Aligarh : Dr. Asif Ali, Associate Professor in the Architecture Section at the University Polytechnic, Aligarh Muslim University, showcased his scholarly contribution at the 5th International Conference on Architectural History and Theory at the University of London Senate House. Organized by SPACE (Studies of Planning and Architecture Consulting & Education), the conference featured Dr. Asif’s research paper titled “Stylistic Influence of Mughal Architecture on British Colonial Mosques in Malaysia.”

Collaborating with Prof. Ahmad Sanusi Hassan from Universiti Sains Malaysia, the research aimed to gauge the impact of Mughal architectural styles on colonial mosques in Malaysia.
