Abstract

Place identity relates to the meaning and importance of a place to its residents and users and how these meanings contribute to an individual's self-conceptualization. The order of Islamic values in a place as spirit can move the community to practice them daily to create identity, which will easily observed in public spaces. Islamic values in religious traditions are suspected to underlie ongoing social and economic activities in this space. This research aims to determine the identity of public spaces in urban settlements based on Islamic values on a city scale. The research paradigm is naturalistic, with case studies and qualitative descriptive research methods. The research location is the corridor of Sekarbela district, Mataram city, where most people are Muslim. Data collection involves interviews, observation, and documentation of activities. The analysis used behavior setting and spatial and micro activities techniques. Research results show that the representation of public space is practicing Islamic values through local traditions in spider networks centered on the mosque. The community agrees and works together to practice Islamic values for social togetherness, economic independence, and environmental comfort so that local traditions can continue and become the color of public spaces.

Abstract

This study discusses the construction of residential houses in accordance with sharia principles, both in the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and residential houses, which is then called architectural fiqh. Residential construction in addition to paying attention to architecture must also pay attention to aspects of Islamic law. Attention of classical and contemporary scholars very few specifically talk about architecture from the point of view of jurisprudence. So far, studies on architecture have mostly studied Islamic architecture, but no one has studied architecture in a fiqh approach. So, through the fiqh approach, a new study was initiated, namely architectural fiqh. This research is a literature study with a focus on fiqh studies in building sharia residential houses using a conceptual approach and an architectural fiqh approach which is analyzed through qualitative content analysis. The findings of this study indicate that the construction of residential houses so far only pays attention to architectural aspects, so there is a need for a fiqh and architectural approach (architectural fiqh), namely building houses according to sharia signs such as aspects of worship, muamalah, neighborly etiquette and ‘urf or adat. That occurs in society. Through the architectural fiqh approach, it directs to build and maintain sharia residential homes in accordance with sharia maqashid, namely maintaining religion, soul, mind, lineage, and property.

Abstract

This study investigates the primary spaces and required orientation of mosques. Similar to other architectural styles, mosques have specific primary spaces that must be featured in every typical mosque, while each region's cultural and traditional needs determine secondary spaces. Orienting the mosque toward the Qibla direction is also crucial. The study sheds light on the correct orientation of typical mosques and the origin of Islamic directives regarding their orientation. Several common ancient mathematical procedures for calculating Qibla have been described. In addition to architectural plans for five mosques in Pakistan, artistic depictions of aerial views of existing mosques in other parts of the globe are also included.

Abstract

Identifier l'origine artistique de l'ornementation végétale sur marbre caractérisant le palais Aziza Bey est devenue un enjeu important dans une recherche sur l'architecture ottomane à Alger. Ce palais, dont la construction remonte au XVIe siècle , représente un merveilleux héritage architectural d'une époque bien connue pour les échanges culturels entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée. Suivant une approche originale, cette étude vise à apporter une réponse à cette question à l'aide de l'observation, de la littérature et de la numérisation (photogrammétrie, CAO). Nous nous sommes concentrés sur l'ornementation végétale de quelques portes et encadrements de fenêtres en marbre à l'intérieur du palais afin de les interpréter selon deux contextes complémentaires : métaphysique et paramétrique. Cette recherche a révélé des résultats totalement inédits concernant l'origine orientale de l'ornementation florale, spécifiquement anatolienne, composée de Rumi et Hatayi. De plus, l’origine occidentale des ornements de fruits, de fleurs et de feuillages est spécifique à la Renaissance italienne. Ces deux registres se caractérisent par des expressions symboliques très significatives pour chaque culture.

Abstract

Pesantren (Islamic Boarding School) is an indigenous educational institution originally from Indonesia and perhaps a unique form of the traditional Islamic education system and spreading to Southeast Asia that neighbouring countries. However, studies on pesantren rarely address physical elements and architecture. Learning pesantren architecture challenges us with representation: definition, how to visualize its form and program, and the design. Finding a body of knowledge on pesantren to excavate "architectural features" is important to study its prospect in architectural terms. This paper attempts to analyze pesantren from the architectural perspective, focusing on the specific feature and finding its current issues, challenges, and prospects for the design framework. Two combination research methods were used: Systematic literature review and case study. A systematic literature review was conducted in the first stage to map the distinctive spatial quality of pesantren. In the second stage, three case studies were conducted to report and analyze the current issues, challenges, and prospects for the design framework. The research shows that the variety of physical conditions is the main current issue of pesantren. The main challenge is the shortage of financial availability while the spatial need to cater to population and development is more increasing. Those conflicting narratives open local responses through incremental design processes in which contextual design frameworks are needed.

Abstract

The Jameh Mosque of Varamin is one of the few structures manifesting a transformation from Iranian architecture toward Iranian-Islamic architecture. The study presented here tries to deal with some of the geometric principles implemented by Iranian architects to express the concept of unity. The research decodes the sacred architectural elements and illustrates the ideas used to design the Jameh Mosque of Varamin from different aspects. In the first step, geometric principles such as dynamic rectangles, the golden ratio, and the lute of Pythagoras have been discussed. In the second step, the mentioned geometric principles are adapted to the architectural documents of the building. In addition, the general form of the building and the location of the dome are determined, and the hierarchy beginning from the Mosque's entrance to the dome has been analyzed. The results show that the architects tried to induce unity and monotheism through sacred geometry in a predetermined hierarchy. Also, Findings indicate that the Jameh Mosque of Varamin can be considered the intersection of Iranian architectural ideals adapted and integrated with Islamic principles.

Abstract

This article relates the traditional housing in an Algerian Islamic city called Blida. Its rich heritage is starting to disappear due to unaware destruction. To preserve its architectural heritage, we propose an experimental ontology of knowledge. It focuses on its mixed architecture's morphological and conceptual qualities to promote a new design adapted to the historic landscape. We have developed a heuristic method. It combines an analog approach with a digital tool. This method is structured from a spatio-temporal process for perceiving architectural language. The analysis of the characteristics begins through a morphological method constitutes the data collection phase of the ontology. Interpreting conceptual qualities concerning natural light is the second step for translation: the information phase. The development of operative paradigms constitutes the third stage for the perception of the learning phase. The resulting diagram illustrates the generative process with semantic modelling in a meaningful protocol. The result of morphology is representative sheets for artefacts, informed by its Morphological context and the sustainable design. Then, the result of the interpretation is the Eco models in qualified sheets represented through adaptive patterns. This protocol forms the conceptual basis of the knowledge ontology.

Abstract

This paper explores the sustainable concepts performed in the Old Mustansiriya Madrasa constructed in Baghdad during the Abbasid era in the thirteenth century AD. The principles and main techniques of sustainability used for modern buildings were compared with the design concepts implemented in the Old Madrasa to extract the most significant concepts that could be applied in designing modern school buildings. The findings showed that the Mustansiriya Madrasa was a distinctive example of Islamic architecture, which included sustainable features. It contained sustainability concepts derived from Islamic teachings and the Holy Quran. The design concept depended on a rectangular shape with a central hollow courtyard for improving natural ventilation and lighting. The Madrasa location was chosen on the Tigris River bank, and landscaping inside and near the building provided natural cooling, air circulation, and filtering. Thick brick walls provided thermal mass techniques to benefit solar energy. Skylights in the narrow halls and corridors provided a distinct energy system. Also, its construction depended on materials that did not affect the environment and were highly durable. Therefore, sustainability concepts were applied 792 years ago in Islamic architecture. Nowadays, designers could learn more from those architectures and their construction methods to reduce the negative impact of recent construction strategies on the environment and human life. Sustainability concepts from the past can be adapted to modern designs. It sounds like a modern school design implementation of these principles was successful.

Abstract

This study explores the history and evolution of geometric models in Islamic architecture up to the Ottoman era. It seeks to understand the emergence of these models and their uses in the Islamic era, analyzing the cultural, religious, and social factors that influenced their appearance and design. The study reveals the ingenuity of early Muslims in architectural engineering as they not only depicted their architectural works in two-dimensional drawings but also created three-dimensional geometric models using precise engineering methods. This trend extended beyond Muslim architects to include foreign architects who admired and documented Islamic architecture with geometric models. The study investigates the significance, purposes, diverse forms, and materials used in producing these models, emphasizing the cultural, artistic, and engineering dimensions of the heritage. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of preserving this heritage and deepening the understanding of its impact on the present. The researcher employs several research methods, including the historical-inductive approach by tracing references in historical sources and the descriptive-analytical method for selected models remaining from these geometric models.

Abstract

In addition to furnishing insights into their aesthetic aspects, inquiry into the architectural ornaments of public buildings reveals the interests of their commissioners and the public. Lime stuccowork assumed a central place among the architectural ornaments of bathhouses due to lime’s workability and its use as a major resilient building material in such hot and humid atmospheres. The present study seeks to investigate and analyze the lime stucco ornaments at bathhouses of Kurdistan Province in the timeframe spanning the Safavid to the end of the Qajar period. This descriptive, historical-comparative research builds on both field and library research to explore the lime stuccoworks at the bathhouses of the province. Research questions tackled here include: (1) What were the themes of the main lime stucco ornaments, and what role did the local rulers play in their creation? (2) Where did these decorative elements take inspiration from? The results of the research show that the employed decorative patterns consist of geometric, Islimi, vegetal, flower, vase, and animal and bird ornaments. These decorative elements drew inspiration from nature, ancient beliefs, and archaism. In fact, local rulers and commissioners were responsible for the flourishing and spread of this art. Due to their influence in the coeval political and administrative institutions, they managed to hire skilled craftsmen from the capital or regions abroad to construct such constructions that, beside invoking those popularly used in the region, benefited from a series of indigenous ornamental patterns.
