description The seventh and eighth centuries of the Hijri calender were the era when Azerbaijan's architecture flourished. During this period, a special style of funerary architecture was developed in the form of a tower-shaped tomb, the scope of its effects extending from Azerbaijan and reaching Khorasan and Turkestan in the east, and Asia Minor and Mamluk Egypt. Considering the centrality of Azerbaijan during the period of the Ilkhanite of this region, the architectural styles flourished in this temporal and spatial period, which later became known as Azeri-style architecture. Parallel to other religious monuments, the tower-shaped tombs found a privileged position in Islamic architecture. Its best examples are the mausoleum tower of Bardaeh in Qarabagh, Sheikh Safi, and Sheikh Heydar, Soltanieh, Ghaffarieh and Qara Baghlar. The purpose of the present study is to recognize the architectural and decorative structure, and to analyze the geometric patterns used in the Azerbaijan tombs, with emphasis on the Qarabagh Bardaeh tomb tower, as a persistent pattern. In order to achieve these goals, the tombs were studied with an interpretive and qualitative strategy, through historical and library studies and field analysis. The designs and decorations were documented, recognized and analyzed.

Durante este período, un estilo especial de arquitectura funeraria fue desarrollado: las tumbas con forma de torre. El alcance de su efecto se extendió desde Azerbaiyán llegando hasta Khorasan y Tukestan en el este, y Asia Menor y Mamluk, Egipto. Teniendo en cuenta el papel central de Azerbaiyán durante el período de Ilkhanite en esa región, los estilos arquitectónicos florecieron en este período espacio-temporal, que luego se conocieron como arquitectura Azeri. En paralelo a otros monumentos religiosos, las tumbas con forma de torre encontraron una posición privilegiada dentro de la arquitectura islámica. Sus mayores exponentes son el mausoleo de Bardaeh en Qarabagh, Sheikh Safi, y Sheikh Heydar, Soltanieh, Ghaffarieh y Qara Baghlar. El propósito de este estudio es reconocer la estructura arquitectónica y decorativa, y analizar los patrones geométricos utilizados en las tumbas de Azerbaiyán, haciendo énfasis en Qarabagh Bardaeh, cómo un patrón que prevalece. Para cumplir con el objetivo de este estudio, las tumbas fueron estudiadas a partir de una estrategia interpretativa y cualitativa, utilizando un análisis histórico, bibliográfico y de campo. Los diseños y decoraciones fueron documentados, reconocidos y analizados. Les VIIe et VIIIe siècles du calendrier Hiriji furent l’ère del’apogée de l’architecture en Azerbaïdjan. Pendant cettepériode un style propre d’architecture funéraire fut développé: les tombeaux-tours. Son influence fut très étendue: depuis l’Azerbaïdjan jusqu’à Khorasan et le Turkestan à l’est, et jusqu’en en Asie Mineur et Mamluk, en Egypte. Vu la place centrale de l’Azerbaïdjan pendant la période ilkhanide dans la région, le style architectural connu après-coup sous le nom d’azéri fleurit dans cette période. De même que d’autres monuments religieux, les tombeaux-tours eurent une place de choix au sein de l’architecture islamique. Les exemples les plus remarquables sont le mausolée de Bardaeh à Qarabag, Sheikh Sai et Sheikh Heydar, Soltanieh, Ghaffarieh et Qara Baghlar. Le but de cet article est de reconnaître la structurearchitecturale et décorative, ainsi qu’analyser les patrons géométriques utilisés dans les tombeaux d’Azerbaïdjan, eninsistant sur le cas paradigmatique de Qarabag Bardaeh.Pour atteindre notre objectif, nous avons étudié les tombeaux à partir d’une stratégie interprétative et qualitative, en utilisant une analyse historique, bibliographique et de terrain. Les plans et les décors furent documenté, reconnus et analysés.
