The dome of al-Bimaristan al-Nuri is regarded as the first muqarnas dome in Damascus. It is a unique example of a suspended muqarnas dome in the region. The 2D projection plane of the dome displays non-uniform cells, which has led researchers to assume that it was an experimental attempt to replicate a new architectural element. This study aims to deliver an in-depth 3D analysis of construction irregularities and deviations to examine the experimental nature of the design and execution. It provides a 3D workflow to document, analyze, and visualize a muqarnas dome. By exploring the geometrical properties and relations of the dome using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), the study presents geometrical corroboration of the in-situ adaptation of the dome.

al-Bimaristan al-Nuri 的圆顶被认为是大马士革第一个 muqarnas 圆顶。这是该地区悬空 muqarnas 圆顶的独特例子。圆顶的 2D 投影平面显示不均匀的单元格，这导致研究人员假设这是复制新建筑元素的实验性尝试。本研究旨在对施工不规则和偏差进行深入的 3D 分析，以检查设计和执行的实验性质。它提供了一个 3D 工作流程来记录、分析和可视化 muqarnas 穹顶。通过使用地面激光扫描 (TLS) 探索穹顶的几何特性和关系，该研究提出了穹顶就地适应的几何证实。
