Aga Khan III
Farid Shafi'e published numerous journal articles and books during his career, including an article about the Masjid al-Juyushi, the Fatimid building that the Mausoleum of Aga Khan III was designed to resemble. Some of Shafi'e's other publications include "Characteristics of Decorated Wood in the Abbasid and Fatimid Styles" (1954); "Arabic Islamic Architecture: Its Past, Present and Future" (1981); and "Arab Architecture in Islamic Egypt, Volume 2: The Fatimid Era" (1982). Shafi'e's past publications indicate that he had studied Fatimid architecture extensively prior to designing the Mausoleum of Aga Khan III.
