Abstract

Asia has a variety of diverse ancient cultures and civilizations. In this paper, we studied the architecture of a UNESCO tentative heritage site: Badshahi Mosque Lahore (BMLH, 1671–1673), built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir (AA). The site is special since it had the largest mosque title (human capacity = 100,000) in the world from 1673 to 1986, has great architectural importance, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. Various mosque architectures (MA) emerged over the past 1400 years worldwide to preserve each region's diversity, identity, and culture. A documentation visit was arranged to study this site and feel the real architecture of the Mughals after decades of preserved form. The study found that BMLH underwent significant alterations while keeping the original MA. This unique study further focused on the basic architecture of the Mughal Era. A detailed study of the architectural themes of BMLH showed that the architectural style of this heritage included regional, cultural, and traditional impacts. By analyzing the architectural themes and distinctive features of BMLH, we have uncovered the distinct regional, religious, and psychological influences that led to Mughal-era mosque architecture's development. Further documentation was reported about the current structural situation of Badshahi Mosque; the number of seepages has been pointed out, and several decays were sighted during our visit. For this significant site's perfect preservation, it was proposed that high-end preservation strategies be implemented in the future.

Abstract

The first Islamic education since antiquity was carried out in the corners of mosques, commonly called Ashabussuffah. They are students who study with murshid or teachers to explore the lessons of religious science in life in the world and life after. Pesantren is an institution whose initial formation involved the active role of the surrounding community in developing local wisdom based on character education. The spatial pattern of Salafiyah Islamic Boarding Schools is unique in Nusantara Islamic Architecture because it has developed in interpreting space without fulfilling the legally applicable rules of the State's basic rules. The oldest and largest Islamic boarding school in Java is in Jombang Regency. This study aims to determine the characteristic pattern of spatial owned by the Darul 'Ulum Jombang Islamic boarding school. It can be a unique characteristic from the beginning of its formation. Until now, this research has used qualitative research methods, preceded by book references and combined with empiricists in the field and interviews with informants. Informants are community leaders, community members, students, alums, and Kiai. The results of this study divide the spatial zoning in the Darul 'Ulum Jombang Islamic boarding school: the Education Combination zone, settlement zone, pesantren zone, and free zone.

Abstract

There is a collaboration between spatial forms and Islamic (Javanese) cultural rituals in Cirebon city, which has the potential to shape the uniqueness of the cultural landscape. The research object is the Kanoman Sultanate which conducts the annual ritual, 'M(a)uludan' tradition. The aim is to describe the collaboration between the physical forms of the Keraton Kanoman and the M (a)uludan Tradition, which is the Islamic or Javanese culture. This involved using the qualitative description method through cultural participation for a period of 8 years. The results showed the existence of an imaginary space formation strung together by the presence of residents from 31 villages as followers (wargi) of the Keraton Kanoman. Moreover, the spatial form of the ritual route was discovered to have been formed for several generations. The people strongly believe that the presence and involvement of these routes can bring them virtue, blessings, prosperity, as well as protection from misfortune. This research argues that the imaginary space forms were created by these cultural events.

Abstract

This paper addresses the challenge of defining and evaluating good design, considering the different ways of thinking about what constitutes good Islamic Design in different populations and market segments. The lack of a standard definition raises important issues, such as limiting evaluation tools without a shared understanding. To address this issue, this paper examines the characteristics of good design and the evaluation criteria used by design competition platforms worldwide. The research is based on a qualitative methodology; keyword coding and linking analysis the evaluation criteria of seven prominent design competition platforms. By creating a common understanding of these attributes inspired by the divine attributes of Asma-ul-Husna, this paper will improve communication between designers and critics, allowing them to explore innovative design ideas more freely and confidently. It is intended for perceptions of good design to evolve and be influenced by changing aesthetics, as well as user needs brought about by technological advances. This study reveals a cyclical pattern in which design preferences emerge periodically, as seen in movements such as postmodernism. Therefore, the attributes of good design must be timeless and universal to ensure lasting relevance. This paper proposes an evaluation criterion that considers existing global standards and identifies seven timeless themes universally applicable to evaluating good design. This result highlights the need for further research, including expert opinion, to refine the proposed criteria. Creating a common basis for interpreting the hallmarks of good design from the perspective of the divine attributes of The Creator benefits designers and critics. It contributes to the enduring importance of good design in an evolving design environment.

Abstract

Due to a lack of secure identity following the new developments in a Muslim Royal Town of high-tech modernization in the twentieth century, the craft maker created any motif with an unknown purpose. As a result, the original character of the location will be tarnished, and the image will vanish. This paper aims to identify the qualitative responses of the plant elements reinforcing the Muslim Royal Town of Kuala Kangsar, conducted semi-structured interview participants based on purposive sampling, including professionals, policymakers, and skilled practitioner's categories. The data was analyzed through qualitative coding using Atlas ti 8.0. The significant findings reveal that the flower, the color related to the flag, leaf, and types of plant, tendril/ meandering cloud, the shape of the plant, and an element of the plant on a Perak Coat of Arm reflected the royal Muslim town. This finding contributes to assessing the details of the plants' motif representation to assist the city council in preserving the unique and valuable historical heritage for the place image of the Muslim Royal Town of Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

Abstract

Scholars have been fascinated with the complex and intricate urban structure within Islamic cities. Over the years, they have used various terms and designations, such as labyrinthine, maze-like, spontaneous, organic, and similar descriptors, to characterize this intricate nature. However, these terms often suggest a lack of order or systematic organization, which limits our understanding of how urban spaces were created and regulated, especially at the micro-level of city development. This essay seeks to provide a case-based insight into the processes of creating, adapting, and managing spaces in pre-modern Islamic cities by examining original archival documents from the Ottoman period. The study concludes that the dynamic character of the decision-making process, influenced by a framework for decision and counterbalancing practices and amplified by the ability to divide the entire structure or building into components that can be interchanged with neighboring elements, opened the door to a limitless range of spatial arrangements that led to the emergence of complex interconnections and apparent irregularities.

Abstract

The existing monuments and heritage could inspire the principles of Islamic aesthetics in architecture. We cannot simply copy the same ancient buildings; rather, we should apply the same principles. Western architects always find ways to design Islamic architecture and present its aesthetics. This study offers an overview of Islamic aesthetics in architecture as interpreted by Fernand Pouillon (FP). This study explores the architect through his thoughts, concepts, philosophy, social studies, construction materials, morphology, and selected case studies in the south of Algeria. The methods used for data collection include analyzing the architect’s writings and architectural designs using standardized thematic axes. This proposal aims to provide a comprehensive qualitative and analytical study of a pioneering Western architect influenced by Islamic architecture who worked in Algeria during the 20th decade, specifically focusing on his work in the south of Algeria.

Abstract

Plurality in religion is one of the absolute realities of social reality that is inevitable. Religious plurality is a challenge to create harmony in the religious life and, on the other hand, a vulnerable source of conflict and disputes by various parties. This study explores the pattern of religious space structure in religious plurality settlements in Balun village, Lamongan Regency. Using a structuralist approach (Levi-Strauss) to structure religious activities in a (1) pragmatic (contextual/technical), (2) syntactic (pattern/layout), and (3) semantic (perception) about space, form and sign to explore the pattern of sacred space with the aspects studied, namely the structure, territory and spatial dynamics of various worship activities in religious plurality settlements on a micro, meso and macro scale. Data was collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with systematic purposive sampling. The results showed that the pattern of spatial order of religious spaces was formed by utilizing public spaces for religious activities; the change of public space into a space of religious activity forms the flexibility of the functioning of space and changes in the territorial boundaries of sacred space – profane. This research contributes to the theoretical development of spatial patterns of religious spaces in religious plurality settlements and creates a space for tolerance in religious life in Balun village, Lamongan.

Abstract

The uniqueness of each place needs to be preserved; therefore, this research will explore determining the relationship between the physical and social aspects that create the sense of place. The focus was on two corridors functioning as the primary access to the Grand Mosque of Kampong Ampel and the nodes of the religious and commercial area of Surabaya City, Indonesia. One hundred visitors in each corridor, 200 respondents in total, were surveyed, and data were collected using questionnaires, documentation processes, and interviews with local visitors and pilgrims and analyzed with the multiple linear regression method. The independent variables used were physical and social aspects, while the dependent variable was the sense of place. The results showed that, on average, both physical and social aspects contributed almost the same values to the sense of place in the researched areas. The aspects of the first corridor at the Grand Mosque were found to provide a medium relationship estimated to be 55.0%. In contrast, the second corridor at the Ampel Suci had a higher result, approximately 58.6%, with the social aspect discovered to be higher than the physical aspects of the sense of place. The summary shows that the two corridors have an averagely influence the concept of a sense of place. Based on the finding in this study, it is recommended that both corridors preserve the physical and social aspects of the sense of place, while others should be improved.
