Abstract

This study discusses about the Islamic view from al-Quran and al-Hadith about beauty and its application in the form of architectural ornamentation of the building. This is done to obtain the basic philosophical as well as corridors for the implementation of the beauty in the building, as well as to restore the function of ornamentation itself. Of this study obtained an understanding that displayed beauty should still consider the values of Islam, namely the value of the benefit, harm avoidance, tauhid, cleanliness, and so forth. Between the harm to be avoided in the ornamentation of the mosque is a tendency to exaggerate (mubadzir), depiction of animate beings, disturbance of concentration, intention to brag, luxury, causing difficulty in maintaining cleanliness in the future, and so forth. The expression of beauty can also be done through simplicity, moderation, harmony with nature, concern for human needs and society, and conformity with the rules set by God Almighty and His Messenger.   Keywords:  Ornamentation, mosque, islamic architecture, beauty

Abstract

The contemporary dynamics of mosque development in Indonesia is closely related to the socio-political dynamics of various Islamic groups or organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, etc. A great number of mosques in Indonesia have been built by Muslim communities affiliated to one of these Islamic groups. In this case, mosque architecture can be considered as one means of expression of the communities’ specific identities which derived from their particular perspectives on the ideal picture of a mosque. However, there is also another case where a mosque is built by a heterogeneous Muslim community. In this context, the image of an ideal mosque becomes the object of negotiations among the diverse affiliated members. This paper discusses to what extent these socio-political dynamics affect the identity representation of community mosques in Malang, one of the regions in East Java where the dynamic interactions among various Islamic groups take place. The result shows that the attempts to represent identity in the community mosques are related to the socio-political dynamic of the Muslim communities. In the mosques of the specific groups, some architectural elements, such as the iconographic ornaments and colors, the spatial arrangement, and the specific features are maintained to represent their specific identities. However, in the mosques of the heterogeneous Muslim communities, these elements are negotiated and challenged by the community members. These negotiations could result, whether in the mutual understanding and tolerance, or in the space claim attempts by the dominant group through the domination of the activity systems, the role restrictions, and the physical control over the mosque.

Abstract

Islamic housing developments have been more popular in recent years, driven by a wide range of contributing factors, including religious, economic, and socio-cultural considerations. The widespread availability of Islamic mortgages from Islamic banks and finance institutions also contributed to the rise of the Islamic housing market for people looking to buy a house while complying with Islamic principles. One of the key selling aspects of Islamic housing projects is their notion of an ‘Islamic Environment,’ which implies sustainability in the social and natural environments. However, mass housing projects’ emphasis on market demands and financial viability often sets aside broader social and ecological considerations in their implementations. These phenomena have raised a question of how the Islamic housing projects conceptualized and implemented this notion of an ‘Islamic Environment.’ An exploratory study was conducted by analyzing qualitatively and quantitatively visual and text data from interviews, field observations, architectural drawings, and marketing materials. The findings showed that at the conceptual level, a partial understanding of Islamic values of environmental awareness is still the main issue that also impacted the implementations at the practical level. The understanding of the Islamic environment is limited to the socio-religious environment in the form of providing places of worship and religious activities. At the practical level, the selling point of the green atmosphere is still limited to the visual pleasures of the distant mountains and gardens outside the residential area. Hence, efforts to rethink the concept and application of the Islamic environment are imperative to ensure genuine environmental sustainability, and ‘nature’ transcends being merely a marketing strategy for Islamic housing projects. Keywords:housing projects, Islamic environment, sustainability, concept, implementation
