The shape of buildings

This Portuguese fanzine is designed and edited entirely in AutoCad…that’s.crazy.
“Friendly Fire is an independent architecture collective interested in subversive and humorous narratives and practices. Its aim is to address the architectural culture and its effects on everyday life in an alternative and informal perspective. Friendly Fire is based in Porto and operates from a tiny corner shop in the Bouça Housing Complex designed by Álvaro Siza – the city’s first Pritzker Prize laureate. The edition is limited to 100 numbered copies, sent selectively by post and sold during a launch event.”
Is this supposed to be inspired by Islamic architecture? Looks like it’s taking influence from Ali’s shrine in Najaf.
