​For our project, we are going to build a paper model of the Taj Mahal. It is located in Agra, India. The Taj Mahal is a famous Islamic structure created by a Mughal emperor, who  constructed the building in memory of his wife, who had died from childbirth. ​For its history, the Taj Mahal is often called the architecture of love. 
        The form of the Taj Mahal also incorporates characteristics of art from Islamic Asia, such as the octagon and the bulbous dome. It also includes the three major elements of Muslim art: calligraphy, geometry, and floral forms. Today, the Taj Mahal is known as one of the world’s most lavish and memorable mausoleums.
