<![CDATA[Any religious building's holistic and ceremonial performance is profoundly and dramatically impacted by lighting research. In this study, the current situation is examined via the lens of analysis, and a performance - based preamble design proposal analysis for the study of adaptive expansion approach for London Central Mosque. Numerous studies have been done on the significance of the ornamentation of mosques and its acoustics impacts on the congregational activities. However, few exceptions are given on the importance of daylighting effect in the mosques. Looking at the massive and widely compacted end-users in London Central Mosques especially during peak season given that the numbers of devotees is increasing each year, the objective is to understand the analysis and recommendations needed for the adaptive expansion approach in designing a daylighting framework for the northern hemisphere climate. The performance of the lighting design for London Central Mosque was the subject to few case studies referred that focused on the evolution and morphology of daylighting in religious and historical areas. Thus, this research will then conduct an observation and analysis studies as the method to materialize the findings. This study was also anticipating recommendations that suggest both passive and active design implications towards the idea of adaptive expansion. As a result, the outcome discussions demonstrate numerous implementation criteria ranging from design stages of site analysis, climate aspects to the electrical fittings and external shading devices well recommended for the best proposal assisting and improving the mosque's current circumstances. The study's findings also indicate that minimal glare and efficient lighting distribution help to reduce energy consumption, enhance reading quality, and properly illuminate public and private religion events and other activities carried out in the situation of optimum brightness of London Central Mosque.]]>

<![CDATA[This research investigates the influence of extrinsic motivation on intrinsic motivation during worship at home and its implications for designing worship spaces within residential settings. The study explores the interplay between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations by employing a mixed-method approach, including qualitative and quantitative methods such as sequential mixed methods and factor analysis. The findings reveal that extrinsic motivation significantly shapes intrinsic motivation during worship at home. The research highlights the significance of privacy in fostering intrinsic motivation during home worship, where private spaces create a conducive environment for individuals to attain solemnity in their worship. In contrast to public spaces like mosques, designing dedicated worship spaces at home becomes essential to ensure a disturbance-free and enhanced worship experience. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations during worship at home. The identified tranquillity, spatial comfort, privacy, and spatial dimension can serve as essential considerations in designing worship spaces to enrich the worshippers' solemn experience within residential settings by architects or designers.]]>

<![CDATA[This article aims to shed light on the construction of architectural monuments in Kosovo as early as the XVI-XVIII centuries, especially Islamic architecture. This style of construction, influenced by the eastern part of the continent, had its own construction features, which set it apart from other constructions built before Islam. Those features reached Albanian areas after the Ottoman Empire conquered them. This type of architecture expressed religious aspects in mosques and prayer facilities, but bridges, markets, shrines, and other objects were also constructed. The research results indicated that Ottoman architectural features were influenced by local traditional elements. A specific model was produced and used in all Albanian areas under Ottoman rule. Secondly, over time numerous objects were built following this model. As a result, cities and lives were changed. A comparative research methodology besides analysis and synthesis was followed to elaborate this paper, using relevant literature. ]]>

<![CDATA[Research on Friday Mosques dominates the study of religious buildings in Java. Meanwhile, research on small mosques, particularly Langgar Dhuwur, remains limited. The purpose of this study is to examine two Langgar Dhuwur in Kauman Yogyakarta from architectural and narrative perspectives in order to reveal the architectural characteristics as well as their role in society. Direct visual observations, measured drawings, and narratives about the study’s context were conducted. Five major themes from the observations were analyzed and discussed to draw significant conclusions. It is concluded that Langgar Dhuwur is a unique architectural type that preserves Indonesia’s vernacular and pre-Islamic architecture. Langgar Dhuwur in Kauman designated the second floor as a sacred area following the Hindu-Buddhist concept of Triloka (Svarloka). As a public building, Langgar Dhuwur serves as a place of worship as well as a cultural and social center. Therefore, it can be regarded as one of Indonesia’s religious architectural treasures due to its distinctive architectural style and rich history. It is recommended that the existence of Langgar Dhuwur, which has a multifunction role in community development, be preserved. Future design needs to emphasize an architectural typology that follows residential architecture, flexible space, and an open plan to accommodate various activities in the micro-scale community area.]]>

<![CDATA[Changes in the pattern of batik trade in Sugihwaras Arab Village encourage the community to adapt by utilising the space in their homes to become Home Based Enterprises (HBEs) of batik space. HBEs batik space is a characteristic of Sugihwaras Arab Village as a batik trading area. The people of Arab Village have adapted by implementing the "hijab concept" to maintain privacy between domestic activities and the batik business. The application of the "hijab concept" is something unique to study because the "hijab concept" is usually only applied to Muslim women's clothing. Based on this phenomenon, researchers are interested in examining how Hijab is used as an adaptation strategy in a batik Home Based Enterprises space. This study examines the "hijab concept" as an adaptation strategy in the batik business space. The research method uses qualitative-descriptive so that researchers can describe phenomena and information on objects in detail. This research aims to find the implementation of the "hijab concept" as a space adaptation strategy to separate the domestic space and the Home-Based Enterprises. The importance of the study is a cause of the increasing role of women in running a household-based business, so an adaptation strategy is needed by separating the domestic space and the business space. The novelty of this study is the formation of layers of "hijab" in the Batik Home-Based Enterprises space in Arab Village Sugihwaras Pekalongan. ]]>

<![CDATA[This paper discusses the formal and symbolic aesthetic meaning of the Al Jabbar Grand Mosque, a new mosque in Bandung, Indonesia, designed by Ridwan Kamil. Like Ridwan Kamil's previous works, the Al Jabbar mosque in Bandung has a contemporary design. The general concept of the architect in designing this mosque has been published in the mass media, and the public already knows the design idea of the mosque. However, there are still features within the mosque that need to be described and analyzed so that the general public can understand the architect's intention. This paper proposes answers through interpretation methods with a descriptive analysis approach to understand the symbolic meaning of the new features of the mosque. The symbolic aesthetic used in the analysis uses symbolic aesthetics from the culture of the Sundanese people, one of the ethnic groups in Indonesia, which is geographically the cultural background where the mosque was built. The analysis found that the meaning the mosque forms, apart from having a bond of meaning with the mosque, also has a bond of meaning with the local culture. The architect made it differently with the spirit of novelty to enrich Islamic architecture and design treasures.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the meaning of Mosques and Mausoleums in South Sulawesi as Islamic architecture influenced by Persian civilization. Previous research on the shape of the mausoleum scattered in South Sulawesi indicated the justification of Persian civilization. The research used a rationalistic paradigm with qualitative methods. The study's results explained that the meaning of mosques and mausoleums indicated the development of the spread of Islam in South Sulawesi. The old mosque has concluded as an iconic Islamic architecture in the category of Islamic heritage buildings. The Old Jami Mosque in Palopo, the al-Hilal Mosque of Katangka Gowa, and the old al-Mujahidin Mosque in Bone represent the three old mosques. The syntactic relations of the three regions were compiled in a historical relationship as the three great kingdoms in the classical period of Islam in South Sulawesi. The similarity aspect is shown by the alignment of the shape of the mosque with the architectural forms of the archipelago's mosques through the shape of the roof and its layers—shapes from nature such as leaves, mean fertility. The creativity of carving on the mihrab shows public awareness to present the mosque's beauty through calligraphy.]]>

<![CDATA[The excavations carried out in the South domed hall of the Friday Mosque of Isfahan brought to light several features of this structure's building stage. Three pits were retrieved in the centre of the hall, which once was occupied by the pillars of the grid of the ʿAbbasid mosque’s hypostyle in 9th century. These were identified as probable foundation pits for the building of a domed space arranged as that of the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus during the Saljuq period. This possible connection was analysed from different perspectives using different data (archaeological, epigraphical, art, and historical data) and provide different conclusions. A comparison between the archaeological data and the epigraphical record may highlight the possible liaison between the two buildings. This paper discusses some results of the 1970s excavations to prove how unlikely a layout such as Damascus could ever be adopted in Isfahan. Nevertheless, proven by the epigraphical record, the presence of the pits discovered by the IsMEO mission and the interest shown by Malik Shāh for Syria plead for a connection between the two mosques. Such connection could highlight the role the Damascene prototype could play in conceiving the pavilion the vizir Niẓām al-Mulk in Isfahan demanded.]]>

<![CDATA[There is a historic monument called the “Sanjīda Mosque” in the old Rah-Rey district in the city of Qazvin. However, the patron and date of its construction are unknown. Regarding the physical evidence in the building, as well as written evidence provided in the restoration reports and the works of some previous researchers on the resemblance of the building form to that of mausoleums, it is plausible that the original building served another purpose before it was modified to function as a mosque. There are various views regarding its original function. Some believe that the building was originally a fire temple later converted into a “mosque.” There is also a famous hearsay that the dome chamber of the Sanjīda building is the burial place of Hasan-i Sabbāh, the leader of the Nizārī Ismāʿīlī sect in Iran. Yet, some others believe that it contains the tomb of one of Imam Mūsā Kāẓim’s (the seventh Shi‘i Imam) descendants. Consequently, the building presents a certain degree of complexity and ambiguity. The areas of ambiguity include the original form and function of the building, the existence of associated urban features, and the cause and date of modifying its function. In this research, we attempted to examine various types of physical and historical evidence to propose and discuss several suppositions regarding the original function of the Sanjīda building. According to the explicit physical evidence, as well as written and contextual evidence, the detailed result suggests that the hypothesis proposing a mausoleum as the original function of the building is more plausible compared to others.]]>

<![CDATA[In Muslim society, the understanding of hijab varies, so the implications for space also vary. Socially, this is possible due to differences in the interpretation of the Qur'an and its implementation. Many Muslim societies operate spatial practices related to clothes and religion, and using clothing as a physical boundary reflects how a person responds to outsiders in their dwelling. The privacy zone in Muslim dwellings can be mapped through the clothing practices found there. This study uses case studies of privacy in six Muslim dwellings as seen through occupants' various clothing practices, from wearing no hijab to wearing hijab with niqab. The study found that the privacy boundaries in Muslim dwellings follow different rules in terms of privacy zones than those of general privacy and investigates the way Muslim women's clothing practices become an expression of spatial boundaries in everyday life. This study suggests the importance for designers of dwellings to consider the beliefs and cultures of inhabitants, including those related to privacy zones based on religious beliefs.]]>
