<![CDATA[The Huisheng mosque in Guangzhou is one of China's oldest mosques; its initial construction dates back to 627. The minaret of the mosque is one of the surviving earliest examples of Islamic architecture in China. The Chinese minarets were built with a form of a wooden low-rise Chinese pavilion. In the case of Guangta, it was built by brick directly on the street with such a great height. The unique architectural form of Guangta raises many questions about its location, architecture, and function. The study traces the historical texts of the minaret to clarify its historical functions. It attempts to understand the minaret's meanings, the hidden symbolism, and its historical roles to serve the Muslim community as a religious minority in the city, on the one hand, as well as its cultural contributions on the other hand. There are several methods to achieve its objectives: the historical, the descriptive, and the comparative analytical approach. These approaches proved that the minaret played many roles associated with its form and architecture. In addition to its religious functions, it is entrusted to inform Muslims at prayer times. The minaret was also used as a control tower if the Muslim community in the city was exposed to external or internal threats and served as a lighthouse to facilitate Muslim maritime trade. Further, it carried a religious symbolism as it was a symbol of Islam itself within the local Chinese society that was not ruled by Muslims. ]]>

<![CDATA[Acculturation is a phenomenon of mixing up the local culture with one or more external cultures, which produces a unique new culture without leaving its original cultural identity. In architecture, acculturation can form new styles that can then develop into a more contemporary architectural form. Cirebon, as one of the geographically strategic areas, is a place where acculturation often occurs. As a city that holds a lot of history, including architecture, the mosques in Cirebon can be the forerunner of the Old Javanese Mosques throughout the Archipelago. The style of the old Cirebon mosques is the result of the acculturation of various cultures. This research explores acculturation in ancient mosques in Cirebon through the Sang Cipta Rasa Mosque and the Panjunan Red Mosque. This research aims to identify acculturation in the object of study through physical element analysis. It can be seen what makes these two study objects become the "face" of the old mosque in Cirebon. Through literature review and observation, it is found that the physical elements of the two study objects were the result of a synthesis of Javanese, Islamic, Hindu-Buddhism, and Chinese architecture.]]>

<![CDATA[The Muslim family's important criteria that inhabited their house are the needs of his family's privacy, creating an Islamic behavior (modesty) and entertaining guests (hospitality) who came to visit. The perception of these needs included the development of a minimalist contemporary architecture that is now widely grown. Contemporary minimalism is one type of architecture emerged in Indonesia, especially in Medan. The type is simple and small dimensions characterize minimalism. Does every Muslim family in the area of Medan (sample) is easily adaptable to the needs that exist in minimalist contemporary architecture include the need for privacy, modesty, and hospitality?. Therefore, the research purpose is to discover a Muslim family adaptation to the needs of space and performance. The method used was a qualitative method of mapping the behavior by place-centered mapping. Results from this study are the adaptation of living in the house to appropriate their needs and recommending improvements in the design of houses.]]>

<![CDATA[Inhabiting a space or dwelling has been a debatable terminology in architectural theory practice. Martin Heidegger's conference paper "Building dwelling thinking" is a major philosophical work that influenced architects in the 20th century. The philosopher interpreted the word as an etymological archaeologist, working on the word's essential meaning until he related it to, Being-in-this-world and Being-towards-death. In this research, we examine the term "dwelling" through the Arabic parables "Maskan" and "Manzel" to reach a more comprehensive understanding that will unveil its essential meaning in its local cultural context. Moreover, we base our research on a survey answered in Lebanon, on the meaning of the word Maskan in its contemporary form, while linking it to Heidegger's etymological findings. Our results explicitly an Arabic term used that describes a different phenomenon in other cultures.]]>

<![CDATA[This study highlights a woman's impressions and experiences of the interior of the Arab Hall at Leighton House. It is a spatial reading of the Hall from within, as an Arab and a Muslim. A woman who comes from this culture and has experienced at first hand the general ethos of imaginary interior scenes with lack of a complete understanding of such cultural context. The study focuses on the identity of the Arab Hall and examines its interior from these standpoints. It explores the origin of some artifacts of the Hall and the East's impact on Lord Leighton. It investigates the authenticity of the hall and whether it is of an Islamic or Arabic interior via encountering the Hall architectural elements with some Islamic historical sites that Leighton visited. The analysis dives deep into the usage and the staging of these artifacts according to the Arabic culture. More importantly, this study states –for the first time–the mistreatment and misuse of some of the Quranic Phrases. ]]>

<![CDATA[Islamic art is an introverted art derived from mystical thought and believes expressed in artistic activities and is pure, indigenous, and commensurate with the spirit and social status of its time; Islamic architecture also has an Islamic foundation, and it has a close relationship with the decorative arts. In this regard, mosques are considered the most significant Islamic architecture achievements; in most cases, geometrical shapes and motifs with religious and natural themes have been used. Therefore, the present study's primary purpose is to study the geometric patterns of the Ateeq Mosque (Shiraz) and the Cordoba Mosque (Cordoba) by a descriptive-analytical method. Analyzing the collected data revealed that the motifs and their role in both the Ateeq Mosque of Shiraz and Cordoba are similar. Among the essential motifs observed in these two mosques can be the circle (symbol of being and the symbol of heaven and God), Shams (symbol of the sun and celestial light), the triangle with the downward vertex, the symbol of the female principle and the upward symbol of the mountain symbol and the masculine principle and crucifix (symbol of rotation of the seasons and permanent reproduction) and spiral as the symbol of fertility. In the Islamic period, these motifs are decorated with architectural spaces. The geometric motifs represent natural elements. As appreciation and sanctification of natural elements have been noticed, geometric motifs symbolically evoke those sacred elements and were illustrated in Iran and Spain's arts.]]>

<![CDATA[People are conducting their daily activities in Architectural space. The local community, which uses and gives meaning to that locality, turns the area into a place. Place Attachment is the place that has an emotional connection with the users. This research aims to identify the types and the roles of Place Attachment concerning the local community's religious needs, particularly the Muslim community. This study employs a qualitative research method by deductive literature review and big-data analysis to determine the emotional bonding manifested in the local community mosques' cultural immanence. The study looks into three Aga Khan Awards for Architecture winning projects to qualify the cases as a promising architecture selected by standard criteria. It discovers several tangible and intangible architectural elements inherited from generation to generation within a community, instituted on their sense of religiosity and the basic human need to connect with their Creator. Place Attachment strength and the uniqueness of architectural manifestation are directly related to those elements' immanency and regarded as the inherited DNA of a community. ]]>

<![CDATA[Islam is a religion that has a comprehensive concept. It regulates everything in the Muslim's life because everything is connected with Islam, including designing a garden. This paper discusses the textual concept of the garden in Islam based on the Al-Quran and al-Hadith as the two primary sources in Islam. The textual analysis aims to formulate garden design criteria based on the concept of Islam. The design criteria were then used to evaluate the mosque's landscape by studying perceptions and user preferences. The two selected mosque locations are the Istiqlal Mosque and the Jakarta Islamic Center Mosque. The method applied in this study is a literature study and the distribution of questionnaires. The paper's results and discussion are divided into three parts: 1) garden design criteria based on the Al-Quran and al-Hadith; 2) some sharia limitations in designing the garden; 3) evaluation on two research locations through the study of perceptions of mosque garden users.  ]]>
