Abstract

Mosque spaces and facilities traditionally serve as places where Muslim communities can pray, gather, and socialize. However, the functional role of the mosque in social life has begun to decline. This study addresses the question: How are mosques currently used, and to what extent do these spaces meet users' expectations? To explore this, an online survey was conducted with 521 participants from Türkiye, examining their usage patterns, preferences, and functional expectations regarding mosque experiences. Additionally, a workshop was conducted to develop strategic-level proposals on the identified issues. The findings highlight a disjuncture between how mosques are currently used and their potential utilization. The study also identifies discrepancies between the priorities of academia and architectural media compared to those of the general community, as well as gaps between the socio-spatial functions offered by mosques and those desired by the public. Notably, only 18.2% of respondents feel that mosques adequately meet their functional needs. Moreover, mosque usage patterns, as well as functional expectations, were found to vary significantly based on users' gender, age, and education levels. The public wishes to experience the mosques as the center of education, culture, and social life. This study contributes to the field by introducing the "Living Mosque" concept, providing a comprehensive analysis of mosque usage and perceptions in Türkiye, and shedding light on the gaps between existing practices and user expectations. It also proposes strategic-level solutions for enhancing mosque facilities, providing valuable insights for future research, and practical improvements in mosque design and management

Abstract

Islamic values encompass important principles and teachings that guide individuals on how to live their lives in this world. Islamic teachings provide guidelines as a basis for decision-making, which is considered an act of worship to Allah SWT. Heritage buildings are crucial for reflecting a society's history and the development of a city. In Indonesia, particularly in Malang City, known as the city with the best colonial planning in the Indies, preserving heritage buildings is vital to preserving their historical, scientific, and cultural values. One way to maintain these buildings is through conversion, which involves changing their functions to meet the needs of a growing city. Since Malang's majority of the population are Muslims who adhere to the principles of Islamic values as their main guide in life, converting buildings should be viewed as an act of worship and align with Islamic teachings. This study aims to identify Islamic values in the conversion of heritage buildings in Malang City and understand how these values can be applied so that the buildings are well-used and managed by the Muslim community. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach, which involves describing various discussions and identifying Islamic values based on sources from the Quran and Hadith. This method is applied to explore the principles of conversion through case studies of heritage buildings. The findings highlight Islamic values that can be applied in heritage building conversions, providing recommendations for the Muslim community to manage these buildings effectively in accordance with Islamic values while avoiding actions that lead to shirk (associating partners with Allah).

Abstract

This paper addresses the historical significance of Turgut Cansever’s project for the redesign of the Beyazıt Square in Istanbul owing to its effort to recreate the particularity of a place through the articulation of motion, orientation, and ornamentation. The paper argues that the Beyazıt Square project is crucial for Cansever’s construction of an aesthetic based on the Islamic ‘world-conception’ through the interpretation of texts, as well as historic and modern places and buildings. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate that Cansever’s Beyazıt Square project, initiated in 1960, is one of the earliest and most notable manifestations of his theoretical concepts. The methodology of the study relies on investigating the correlation between the partially applied project and the architect’s theoretical ideas, which he developed through intertextual readings on architecture, philosophy, and religion, with a particular focus on Sufism. This concept has evolved. The sources of the investigation include texts written by the architect or others on his work since 1949, the original drawings of the project, and the physical changes that the square underwent between 1505 and the present day. Personal communications with the daughter and son-in-law of Cansever, who are also architects and have collaborated with him for a long time, are valuable sources for this investigation. This study demonstrates that the fundamentals of Cansever’s theoretical ideas predate 1960, with the majority emerging in a more articulate form through his writings, interviews, and speeches after 1980. It shows that Cansever made connections between the main precepts of Modernism and his interpretation of the Islamic principles of art and architecture around 1960. It also makes clear that the recent adaptation of the unfinished project in 2023 is due to the relevance of these theoretical ideas for the popular but relatively weak pursuits of discovering and reconnecting with the principles and values of the Islamic built environment. Perhaps the most important benefit of this text lies in its presentation of the application of spatial and phenomenological concepts by a non-Western, Muslim architect in a public space.

Abstract

The concept of productive green space has been mentioned in Al-Qur’an, which was revealed several centuries ago. However, Productive Facade (PF), a Vertical Greening System (VGS) method, has only recently been seen as a viable solution to provide crops and a cooler atmosphere in densely populated residential areas. The purpose of this article is to examine, from both scientific and Islamic perspectives, how shading and CO2 concentration reduction from PF can help cool the outdoor air, as well as the implications of this cooling mechanism for the development of a PF system as a secondary building skin that is more responsive to increasing urban temperatures. Literature reviews and experimental studies have been conducted to provide evidence and arguments from both scientific knowledge and Islamic perspectives. It was found that PF was able to provide an outdoor cooling effect. In addition, plant shade and CO2 uptake in PF are strongly correlated with air temperature. These findings are mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadiths as a basis for constructing an Islamic perspective.

Abstract

One of the primary design tools Ottoman architects employed in the creation of their buildings and planning architectural spaces was geometric proportions. The Sultan Bayezid II Mosque in Istanbul, which was designed in a very distinctive geometric way but hasn't been thoroughly studied and discussed by researchers before, is a perfect example of how to apply geometric proportions. Thus, the primary objective of this study is to investigate the optimal geometric proportions that guided the construction of the mosque's plans and interior spaces. The architectural significance of the mosque in the history of Ottoman architecture is highlighted in this study, which employs a historical and analytical research method. After that, the architectural drawings were examined geometrically to demonstrate the proportions on which the mosque was constructed. The proportional shapes explored in the mosque's drawings confirmed that ideal geometric proportions were of great value in the minds of the engineers and architects who designed the mosque. The study's findings further support the mosque's architectural significance and geometric richness.

Abstract

Some Islamic theological resources provide descriptions of the afterlife, with particular attention to architectural elements such as the As-Sirāt bridge. This bridge is a significant concept in Islamic theology, depicted as a pathway extending over Hell. Islamic hadiths and literature offer various interpretations of this bridge. During the Safavid era, architects frequently employed symbolism, especially through the use of numbers and strategic location choices, to embed Islamic concepts into their designs, thereby connecting form and meaning in their architectural works. Similarly, the architecture of bridges in Iran reflects the integration of form and meaning, as well as the expression of Islamic ideas. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach and drawing on field and library research, this study examines how the metaphorical concepts associated with the As-Sirāt Bridge influenced both the design and location of the Allahverdi Khan Bridge. The findings indicate that the metaphorical concepts of the As-Sirāt Bridge significantly impacted the placement of the Allahverdi Khan Bridge and its use of numerical symbolism in the design of its gates.

Abstract

Mosques, serving as places of worship for Muslims, require a high level of speech intelligibility to achieve the solemnity of worship. Due to rising urban temperatures, many mosques in tropical urban areas are transitioning from their previously open-designed condition, relying more on natural ventilation, to enclosed ones by leaning more on artificial ventilation. This study aims to understand the influence of space openness on speech intelligibility in mosques. Speech intelligibility measures how clear a voice is in a room and is measured by the speech transmission index (STI) method. This research utilizes the quantitative approach, integrating site observations, on-site measurements, and computational simulations. Focused on Masjid UI as the case study, the study simulates open and enclosed design configurations across three scenarios: full, half-full, and empty rooms. The results show that a mosque with an open design has a higher STI than a mosque with an enclosed design. However, the difference is insignificant due to several supporting factors in the existing condition, such as the square-shaped plan design with a pyramid dome, equal loudspeaker sound distribution, and a crowded worshippers’ condition.

Abstract

The significant number of visitors visiting the Sunan Bonang Tomb in Indonesia is believed to contribute to the commodification of sacred zones for religious tourism at the tomb. This study focused on exploring how sacred zones are transformed into religious tourism destinations at the Sunan Bonang tomb in Tuban, Indonesia. Qualitative research involved gathering field data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Researchers conducted data triangulation to confirm the accuracy of the gathered data. The research results were examined using Foucault's perspectives through archaeological and genealogical approaches. This study identified key factors contributing to the commodification of Sunan Bonang's tomb for religious tourism, including: 1) the established religious tradition within Islamic communities that influence the occurrence of commodification, 2) government support aimed at enhancing the attraction of cultural products for religious tourism, and 3) the role of the foundation as the holder of management authority managing the commodification of Sunan Bonang's tomb for religious tourism. Commodification focuses more on creating sacred zones at the Sunan Bonang’s Tomb.

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

Abstract

This study undertakes a comprehensive examination of color as a distinctive and impactful feature in the artistic and architectural expressions of the Ottoman Empire, with a specific focus on its visual impact on historical inscriptions in Greece. By delving into the reasons and motivations underlying the Ottomans' extensive use of color, this research elucidates the effect it had on the viewer's perception and interpretation. Applying this analytical lens to the oldest extant Ottoman Mosque in Greece, the Sultan Bayezid II Mosque in Didymóteichon, the paper presents a nuanced exploration of the visual impact generated by color within the inscriptional elements of this significant edifice. The findings demonstrate how the Ottomans' strategic deployment of color, mainly through the skilful juxtaposition of contrasting hues and harmonious combinations, enhances the aesthetic appeal of the inscriptions, conveying a tangible sense of authority and captivating the viewer's attention. This research provides a novel perspective for understanding the sophisticated visual communication strategies employed in Ottoman epigraphy, underscoring the pivotal role of color as a crucial element in shaping the inscriptions' visual resonance and symbolic import. This study offers valuable insights into the cultural, aesthetic, and communicative dimensions of Ottoman visual culture by illuminating the multifaceted significance of chromatic expression within this artistic tradition.
