Abstract

The proportion and scale of humans in the building are one of the invoices in shaping the beauty and effectiveness of the function of the building. In architecture, there is a golden ratio as a reference for calculating the proportions of a shape. While in Indonesia, especially in Java and Bali, there is a traditional measurement method for developing a building, using body anatomy measurements. This study uses the Golden Ratio and Traditional Measurement methods to analyze the dimensions of the prayer room at the Great Mosque in East Java with case studies of the Lamongan Great Mosque, Tuban Great Mosque, and Gresik Jamee Mosque. The results obtained from this study for the dimensions of the existing prayer room with the largest percentage approaching the golden ratio are the prayer room of the Great Mosque of Lamongan (82%), and the smallest is the Jami Gresik Mosque (61.8%). While the dimensions of the prayer room need adjustments to be more effective in meeting the human scale in performing prayers, traditional measurement methods that approach modern measurements use "kilan" and "hasta." From these results, it is hoped that in the future, mosque planning can pay attention to the proportions and dimensions of the human scale, both with modern and traditional measurements, which are the local wisdom of the local culture.

Abstract

India and Persia have had a strong socio-cultural relationship since the ancient period. There had been a cultural link between the two countries. Indo-Persian cultural amalgamation had increased with the advent of Islam in the Indian subcontinent. The syncretism of these two cultures influenced all aspects of life, including literature, art and architecture. This paper discusses the influence of Persian architecture on Mughal imperial mosques in North India. A review of literature from various scholars on possible influencing factors is presented, accompanied by an observation-based analysis of the architectural features of Persian mosques. Subsequently, the paper identifies and examines various Persian architectural elements existing in Mughal mosques in India. The results indicate that Persian architecture significantly influenced Mughal mosques in North India and using locally available materials made these mosques unique in their architectural styles.

Abstract

Indonesia's risks of natural disasters force its people to live and adapt. It happens in Samarinda's urban settlements, which flood annually. Indonesia, a religious country, applied religion to most aspects of life. The religious element is persistent even in homes being inundated by floods. Devout Muslims consistently perform the five daily Shalah and sometimes Sunnah prayers in flooded conditions. This paper analyzed the spatial configuration of the Muslim prayer space in the flooded residence from different phases. The study method was based on Justified Graph analysis, and the sample was a stilt house in some periods. The research locus was in the most settlement area covering frequent floods. This research found that Integration and Mean Depth were the critical factors in prayer spaces in flooded homes due to the connection with other spaces, visual control, and interaction. Muslim home renovations should have a prayer space with high Integration value and low Mean Depth. High Integration connects the prayer space to numerous rooms, making controlling and interacting with others during a flood easier. Low Mean Depth allows easy access to the prayer space from the main entrance. A prayer space will ensure the house has a safe area during a flood.

Abstract

This research tackles the architectural typology of mosques built by religious associations in Algeria, which is a timeless issue. Despite the specific legislation of the new mosques' architectural typology, random or fanciful architectures in the field are considered Islamic Architecture. Our research aims to analyze mosque architectural data and report all the architectural and architectonic elements identified in two Algerian wilayas as a case study. It is then to classify and define the authentic typologies of Maghrebi, Ottoman mosques, or any other developed by specialists in Islamic architecture and art, especially if the platform is linked with the general inventory of Islamic architecture accredited by UNESCO. The concept of creating the platform starts with an inventory of mosques, and it is then developed to list various criteria for classifying mosques. Thus, a flexible filtering system is implemented to help perform multi-criteria analysis and visualize results in a geographic interface. This platform can meet several objectives in many research fields and be adapted for buildings other than mosques. Furthermore, the platform will serve as a basis for researchers and students, the Directorates of Religious Affairs, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs to analyze the architectural data of mosques.

Abstract

Algeria's post-independence quest for cultural revitalization and architectural identity led to the creation of the Islamic University Mosque of Emir Abdelkader in Constantine. This mosque, a symbol of contemporary architectural heritage, heavily influenced modern mosque designs in the city. This research thoroughly examines this architectural influence through architectural analysis techniques, including on-site evaluations, comparisons, and scrutiny of manuscripts and blueprints. The analysis reveals a significant correlation between the architectural elements of the Islamic University Mosque (such as azure tiles, square-based minarets, and ribbed domes) and the designs of three modern mosques in Constantine: Ibn Al-Arabi, El-Haddad, and Al-Wihda. It demonstrates how these elements seamlessly integrated into the design of these contemporary mosques, emphasizing the profound impact of the Islamic University Mosque on modern religious architecture in Constantine. Through these architectural resemblances, this research underscores the pivotal role played by the Islamic University Mosque of Emir Abdelkader in shaping the contemporary religious architectural landscape of Constantine. The findings contribute to our understanding of the mosque's cultural and architectural significance within the broader context of Algerian heritage. Furthermore, this study not only highlights the influence of the Islamic University Mosque but also provides deep insights into the evolving architectural expressions of religious identity in Algeria. It enriches the fields of architectural history and cultural studies by emphasizing the cultural and historical importance of this architectural masterpiece.

Abstract

Many world issues are faced and then become challenges of the 21st century. This study aims to define these challenges and how to overcome them as alternative solutions in architecture, with the context of sustainable architecture from an Islamic perspective. The methods used are literature review and logical argumentation. The results show that the challenges of the 21st century in the context of sustainable architecture include fundamental issues, namely nature conservation, related to humanity and technology as specific objectives, and several other objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals. Challenges can be faced by integrating the handling of each aspect, focusing on humans. In the view of Islam, integrated solutions are carried out within the spirituality framework, where humans act as caliphs. Through education, a means of accelerating human knowledge is obtained; through a spiritual approach, humans will think twice about destroying the universe and its contents.

Abstract

This paper discusses the assessment process of the cultural significance of the Al-Anwar Angke Mosque in Jakarta. The mosque has been designated as an important cultural heritage, in which architectural, historical, and sociocultural values are explicitly demonstrated. Furthermore, the mosque was also considered a symbol of the diverse community in Batavia. However, the 18th-century mosque has undergone physical (including its details and ornaments) and environmental changes due to sociocultural, economic, and political dynamics. Therefore, continuous monitoring is essential to protect historic buildings, and cultural heritage values should be assessed periodically. The assessment of cultural significance includes aesthetic, historical, scientific, sociocultural, and spiritual criteria. Data collection and analysis are based on observation, interviews, and related literature. Furthermore, some critical notes indicate that assessment must be performed regularly and continuously. Thus, such an assessment is required to understand its values and unique artefacts. However, rather than determine the role of the Angke Mosque within its ever-changing context. As pointed out in the cultural significance assessment process, the article reveals the importance of recording and digitizing knowledge to comprehend the past, present, and future. Moreover, the appreciation might be understood differently due to the current urban dynamic. The assessment of the cultural significance of the Angke Mosque needs to accommodate community participation and a multidisciplinary approach to understanding architectural heritage, driven by the paradigm shift from a physical-based to a value-based system.

Abstract

It is hard to discuss Islam without bringing up the person of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The urban crisis has become a significant issue due to society's Westernization. The experts say that the Islamic approach appears to be the most promising due to the urgent need for harmonization. Several concepts unmistakably found in this tradition's fundamental sources, the Hadith, the Qur'an, and the Sunnah, show how often attention the Islamic tradition has paid to both natural and urban growth. Traditional Islamic towns offered a range of experiences, from the intimate world of Home to the aspirations of the local population on a more global scale. This study critically assesses Islamic ethics and principles for sustainable urban development. According to Shari'a, the ancient Islamic law, this necessitates that the built environment be envisioned and governed in a way that advances morals and the growth of society. Urban zoning and land use rules should prioritize social integration and protect people's rights and needs since urban planning decisions affect social life in the built environment. A variety of basic Islamic ideals, such as human welfare and glory, justice and equality, central consideration, unanimity and kindness, economic development, security and safety, and environmental protection, must be considered when planning an Islamic metropolis. These principles could be a foundation for sustainable urban development wherever and whenever. In this research, traditional judgments support several pertinent Islamic beliefs. Eminent judges and jurists rendered these decisions in the early Muslims' customary courtroom settings. The primary sources of Shari'a, from which most were descended, are the Qur'an, Hadith, and Sunnah. This research also attempts to look into how Islamic design paradigms may be used to create urban settings that are more habitable, environmentally friendly, and culturally sensitive.

Abstract

This paper explores the evolution and transformation of traditional Muslim villages, shedding light on the changes that have occurred over time. Focusing on various traditional Muslim villages, the research employs a multi-faceted approach, combining literature study, historical analysis, field observations, and interviews with community members. Through an extensive review of relevant scholarly works and publications, the study establishes a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding regarding the topic. Field observations and interviews provide firsthand insights into individuals' experiences and perspectives within traditional Muslim villages. The research reveals that traditional Muslim villages have undergone significant transformations in architecture, social structures, and cultural practices. While certain core elements and values have persisted, such as communal harmony and Islamic traditions, these villages have had notable shifts in the physical layout, economic activities, and social dynamics. By unveiling the authenticity of these transformations, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between tradition and modernity in shaping the identity and sustainability of traditional Muslim villages. The findings of this study, supported by a robust literature study and case studies, can contribute to informed preservation strategies and community development initiatives that honor the heritage while embracing the challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world.

Abstract

Buildings in Islamic architecture are distinguished by dazzling features in general, especially religious buildings such as mosques, schools, and shrines. The literature could not find a clear identification of reaching the dazzling concept. Moreover, researchers in the Islamic architecture discipline did not focus on determining sufficient knowledge of the design methods of applying the dazzling approach in Islamic architecture, and they did not clarify a specific detailed vocabulary of Islamic dazzling concepts. However, the problem of the study was identified by observing the literature and buildings. Therefore, the formulated question encompasses “the unclear knowledge of applying designing procedure of dazzling characteristics in Islamic Architecture buildings.” The study raised an important question: “What is the design methodology of dazzling features in religious buildings within Islamic Architecture.” The study aims to identify the practical design elements, principles, and rules of the dazzling characteristics in religious buildings in Islamic architecture to draw out a guideline that designers can apply in contemporary Islamic Architecture. The theoretical framework of the dazzling concept was constructed to achieve this aim, with variables and sub-variables highlighted to identify the design methodology that can actualize dazzling concept in Islamic architecture by reviewing previous studies. The abstracted variables used in designing the checklist were applied to analyze the cases formally. Selecting cases from religious buildings from Islamic style depends on specific criteria. However, the results analyzed statically showed that dazzling concept in Islamic architecture applied in five major levels (structure, form, architectural elements, interior space, and ornamentation) with seven main principles (richness, exaggeration, uniqueness, complexity, proportion, and ambiguity). Richness is the most affected factor in applying clear dazzling concept, while exaggeration and uniqueness are second-rated factors that can impact the value. Dazzling concept is an essential characteristic that designers should apply in contemporary Islamic architecture.
