Abstract

Today, the design and management of the mosque are subject to criticism in many ways, like not being responsive to the needs of different user groups and causing socio-spatial justice problems between genders and generations. This study examines the extent to which mosques provide socio-spatial inclusion by analyzing problems experienced in mosques, user satisfaction, and user perceptions of the socio-spatial inclusiveness of mosques. Methodologically, an online survey was conducted with 521 participants living in Türkiye. In addition, a workshop will be held with 17 participants who are currently involved in research on mosque design to develop proposals at a strategic level to address the identified issues. This study reveals that there are critical socio-spatial problems faced by users in mosques: (1) problems of representation inequality in decision-making about the design and management of mosques (the gaps of representation equality), (2) limited responsiveness to users' spatial expectations due to the neglect of the needs of important stakeholders such as women, children and youth in society (3). Only a very limited group of users (18.4%) are satisfied with the spatial experience in mosques. Additionally, almost one-third of the respondents (30.1%) perceive mosques as 'middle-aged or elderly male-dedicated spaces,' with this perception being more prevalent among women and young people. At the end of the study, we discuss the socio-spatial dimensions that will form the basis for a “Mosque for All”.

Abstract

This historical research examines the messages conveyed through the architectural art of an ancient mosque, the Cirebon Panjunan Red Mosque, which was built by Arab descendants living in Java in 1480 AD. In Indonesia, the acculturation between Islamic culture and traditional values resulted in the uniqueness of mosques' architectural buildings and ornaments. In addition to being a place of worship, mosques became an art form rich in symbols, representing historical, religious, and philosophical values. This qualitative research with historical methods seeks to investigate the visual narrative in the ancient mosque by implementing a series of historical research stages, including heuristics, criticism, and data interpretation. As pictures convey a narrative as well as words, visual narrative can be used to discover the values of the past. The results of the research have unveiled messages of history and culture regarding Islam's development during the Cirebon sultanate. In addition, the history of the Panjunan Red Mosque was described. Hopefully, this research can contribute to new knowledge on the past Islamic development in Indonesia and the wisdom of peaceful acculturation.

Abstract

This paper aims to rectify the prevailing perspective within architectural studies, which often focuses solely on the physical aspects of architecture, neglecting a profound analysis of its spiritual dimension. Islamic Architecture, as a significant cultural contribution of Islam to the world, transcends mere stylistic choices. It serves as an embodiment of Muslim values within the built environment, bridging spirituality with physicality. This paper delves into the fundamental principles of Islamic Architecture, drawing from classical Islamic sources and contemporary writings. The literature review categorizes the sources into three groups: mentalfact, sociofact, and artefact. The study reveals a profound philosophical foundation for Islamic Architecture, directly rooted in the teachings of the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith. Notably, Islamic Architecture places a strong emphasis on its social impact. Furthermore, these foundational principles evolve to create architectural beauty that holds distinct uniqueness and a sense of identity rooted in Islamic values.

Abstract

This research explores the ways of integrating traditional Omani vernacular architectural elements into contemporary façade designs. It examines how these patterns are reinterpreted to create a consistent architectural language that imbibes local heritage patterns while meeting modern needs. The study investigates the structural, cultural, and formal characteristics of Omani façades through a qualitative analysis of the façades’ components in residential buildings. To identify common patterns and design rules in contemporary Omani architecture, a comparative approach was employed to analyze 24 residential buildings in Mirbat and Mutrah. The results show that vernacular elements are continuously reinterpreted in modern design, revealing that these patterns not only maintain cultural identity but also enhance the practicality of contemporary architecture. Finally, the investigation proposes a guideline for incorporating heritage elements within current design agendas, catalyzing further dialogue on architectural identity in the Islamic world.

Abstract

A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims that emphasizes the concept of Rahmatan Lil Alamin, meaning to bring blessings to all people. Based on this statement, a mosque serves as a safe and comfortable space for performing ritual prayers and as a venue for accommodating social activities for its congregants. The function of mosques evolves, especially during the month of Ramadan. It becomes more active and serves various purposes beyond prayers, including religious, political, economic, educational, commercial, social, and cultural activities. All of these activities aim to foster social interaction among Muslim communities. This research aims to uncover the behavior and movements of worshippers during both Salat ritual and non-Salat activities within mosque spaces. The study focuses on Al-Lathiif Mosque in Bandung, known for its vibrant young community, which engages in diverse and active activities. The steps taken to achieve the research objectives are as follows: (1) Identifying the indicators to reveal social sustainability through literature studies; (2) Mapping the behavior of congregants and the utilization of mosque spaces during Salat activities; (3) Mapping the behavior of congregants and the utilization of mosque spaces during non-Salat activities; (4) Distributing questionnaires related to social sustainability indicators regarding space utilization in the mosque; (4) Concluding the application of social sustainability concepts in mosque spaces. The analysis results reveal that social sustainability is optimally achieved in the flexibility of spaces in a mosque.

Abstract

The paramount determinant of open space's success lies in the harmonious fusion of its design and environmental context. Considering people's environmental experience is crucial for implementing user-friendly spatial planning. This can be achieved by acknowledging the concept of "The Right to the City", which has two aspects: the right of residents to occupy, use, and enjoy specific city public spaces; and the right of residents to participate in decision-making at various stages in the urban planning process. This paper focuses on the first point only. The paper’s hypothesis emerged from the lack of POS in the study area, so streets are a public space where the community interacts, and does different activities. This paper studies the interactions between the physical setting of streets and open spaces with users. It traces all possible social, religious, and physical activities to reveal the level of spatial justice through the concept of spatial rights includes five dimensions. It comes out with three alternatives based on the conception of public spaces associated with mosques that emerged from a careful analysis of the needs of the residents of the study area (part of the Jabal Al-Hussein neighborhood).

Abstract

Understanding intimacy within a habitat is crucial to deciphering its human and social dynamics. Human habitation's conceptual and poetic content inspires both the creation and philosophical thinking of societies. Heidegger connected art, space, and architecture of human habitation by responding to the aspirations of their inhabitants. In this sense, private life constitutes a boundary between private and public family life. In Islamic architecture, this sustainable concept is intergenerational, translating sensory experiences into spatial design. We aim to quantify this concept by comparing Islamic and modern architecture. By integrating ophthalmology calculations, those of J. Panero and M. Zelnik, and the interpersonal communication thresholds of Hall and Moore, we calculated the dynamics of spatial and superficial intimacy based on gender. Differences have been observed between Mozabite Islamic architecture in Algeria, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and modern architecture. According to Shannon and Weaver, the information is coded messages and measurable quantities. The internalization or exteriorization of intimacy is essential to understand its vernacular or modern typology. The resonance of gender frequencies undoubtedly forms the basis of a relatively effective strategy for protecting privacy within human habitats. This approach facilitated the development of a sensory imprint for the opulent vernacular Islamic habitat of M'Zab.

Abstract

An over-reliance on natural resources leads to their depletion. Everyone in the community must realize that participation is crucial for long-term growth. Experts claim that the Islamic approach is the most promising one in light of the urgent requirement for harmonization. This study highlights the significance of Islamic traditional places on natural and urban expansion in the Quran, Sunnah, and Hadith while examining Islamic ethics and principles for simple, sufficient, and sustainable development. This paper provides valuable insights into how Islamic teachings can inform modern practices of resource conservation, low-energy architecture, and sustainable building construction. Islamic architecture offered a wide range of experiences, from the private sphere of the individual to the communal goals of the community. By making the fundamental ideas of Islamic architecture more understandable, the research aims to raise professional and public awareness of its significance. The paper concludes that Islamic architecture, with its multifaceted representation of Islam, is both simple and sufficient. Indeed, sustainability has always been one of the key characteristics that set Islamic architecture apart. Islam seeks to protect man's well-being, including wealth, mental endurance, and faith. It offers a thorough understanding of philosophy, ethics, and worldviews. This examination looks at the pragmatic issue in Islamic architecture practice in the modern world, stressing essential themes in the process.

Abstract

Traditional pesantren architecture has yet to be defined by a specific building type as it encompasses both educational and residential buildings. Many researchers explore the curriculum and its educational issues, but they often overlook the fact that all activities are closely related to where they occur. The morphology of building complexes identifies the history of buildings, including the reason for their development. This paper explores the morphology of building complexes in traditional pesantren to analyze how far the development of buildings has progressed from the old traditional pesantren since its first existence in Indonesia in general and relate it to vernacular architecture around it. A pesantren in Wajo, South Sulawesi, two pesantrens in East Kalimantan, and a pesantren in Waikabubak, East Nusa Tenggara, are the case studies used to explore the morphology. The research found that all morphologies of traditional pesantren still refer to the traditional pesantren in general. However, there are some modifications because of the needs of the pesantren's capacity and the location's natural setting. Contextualizing pesantren around the community and vernacular architecture is not the main important point for the development because recently they should prioritize santris room occupancy and more accessible building construction strategies.
