Abstract

Muharraq, the former capital of Bahrain, has many development projects in its heritage area that aim to balance culture sustainably. Variation in such projects will address the country's overall shortage of economic resources, particularly in the tourism industry. At the same time, there is a political desire in the Kingdom of Bahrain to make Muharraq a tourist city and seek to link commercial, artistic, and cultural development projects, creating various income sources. Consequently, the commercial streets in Muharraq can host tourism and cultural activities through the open museum concept, encouraging the tourism industry to connect with traditional handicrafts and handmade crafts. The main aim of the research is to address the topic of "the development of commercial streets in the heritage areas to be open museums" as a method to enhance Bahrain's identity and encourage the country's tourism industry. Consequently, this positively impacts the resilience and sustainability goals, which align with Bahrain's 2023 strategy and objectives. After a thorough literature review, the qualitative research method was used to achieve the research goal. In the old Muharraq, Sheik Issa Street was chosen as a case study. The research found that this concept will improve the city's cultural and heritage identity, encourage local handicrafts, especially embroidery and weaving for popular and traditional clothing with a good reputation nationally and internationally, and achieve economic development for the region in general and the city in particular.

Abstract

One of the most prominent styles of Islamic architecture that benefited from the aesthetics of Arabic calligraphy in mosque decoration is Ottoman architecture, in which Arabic calligraphy was used mainly to enhance the mosque's interior. Hence, this research aims to demonstrate the importance of employing Arabic calligraphy as a decorative element in the interior design of the Shehzade Mosque in Istanbul and to show how it harmonizes with the mosque's unique structural system across its various forms. The study began by stating the research problem and its motivations, and by clarifying its scientific value in highlighting the position of Arabic calligraphy decoration in Ottoman arts and architecture. The study then reviewed how Arabic calligraphy decorations contributed to improving the interior appearance of the Ottoman Mosque. Then the Shehzade Mosque emerged as a distinctive and influential model in the use of Arabic calligraphy in Ottoman architecture. The researcher then analyzed the geometric pattern that developed on the ceiling of the Ottoman Mosque from Arabic calligraphic decorations. Finally, the study concluded with results and recommendations that emphasize the importance of Arabic calligraphy in the architecture of Shahzad mosques.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of environmental and minimalist principles within contemporary Islamic architectural philosophy. Adopting minimalist and environmentalist principles in modern Islamic architecture is challenging due to the conflict between them and the rich historical and decorative elements traditionally used in Islamic design. Environmentalism and minimalism have significantly influenced contemporary Islamic architecture, presenting architects and designers with the challenge of integrating traditional elements with modern design principles while maintaining cultural identity and adhering to sustainable practices. Environmentalism and minimalism are rooted in Islamic theology and European protest movements. While these philosophies offer environmentally conscious and culturally resonant architectural practices, there is a notable tension between them. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating how architects incorporate environmental and minimalist principles into their work and the cultural and historical contexts that have shaped these architectural philosophies. The knowledge gap in this area lies in the need for more research to examine the relationship between minimalism and contemporary Islamic architectural philosophy. The potential impact of this study lies in its contribution to the field of Islamic architecture, which is a broader discourse on sustainable design. By exploring the relationship between environmentalism, minimalism, and contemporary Islamic architectural philosophy, this study can inform the development of sustainable design strategies and promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the unique contributions of Islamic architecture to global architectural discourse.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of mosques in the concept of social sustainability. Mosques are one of the important elements that shape the social structure of society. However, from a sustainable development perspective, the role of mosques in social sustainability and how they can be evaluated in this context have not been adequately addressed. This study aims to develop a social sustainability measurement framework comprising three main components: compliance with societal needs, protection of cultural heritage, and social interaction, by examining studies on ensuring and measuring social sustainability. Additionally, as part of this study, a survey is being conducted to understand how mosques can be evaluated for social sustainability. This survey aims to reach a wide range of participants, including mosque users and surrounding residents. The data obtained are analyzed using SPSS. This data will provide an important resource for understanding the current status of mosques in terms of social sustainability and potential areas for improvement.

Abstract

Mosque visitors often struggle with poorly designed wayfinding signs. Small fonts, unappealing color combinations, illogical placement, and dazzling materials contribute to this frustration. Common complaints involve signs for toilets, ablution areas, prayer halls, and holy boundaries. This study aimed to improve signage legibility by applying ergonomic principles. The visual display cognitive ergonomics approach was chosen, with a focus on human-system interaction and acknowledgment of human limitations. An experimental design was used to evaluate the effects of font size, typeface, and color combinations on legibility. Additionally, symbol comprehension tests and assessments of familiarity, compatibility, and standardization were conducted to inform the design of effective symbol signage. The experimental data were analyzed using the Friedman test. Spearman’s rank correlation test was used to assess the relationships among the three ergonomic factors: familiarity, compatibility, and standardization. Data analysis revealed that only font size significantly impacted legibility. However, a positive correlation was found between ergonomic factors and participant understanding of the signage symbols. This suggests that these factors collectively affect overall legibility. After introducing the newly designed signage, the study successfully increased sign legibility. Future research can explore additional factors that influence legibility to develop more comprehensive guidelines for mosque signage design.

Abstract

During the Ottoman era (fifteenth - eighteenth century), Algeria witnessed a flourishing period of Islamic art. Ottoman architectural masterpieces were characterized by unique stylistic touches and by their integration of the specific heritage of each region, drawing on local knowledge. Unfortunately, the design of contemporary mosques neglects the cultural context of their respective region. The Algerian city of Constantine, known for its rich heritage, especially in religious architecture, was famously called “the city of 100 mosques” before French colonization. Tragically, French colonial policies (1830–1962) systematically dismantled this heritage, converting mosques into churches or demolishing them; post-independence efforts often overlooked pre-colonial models. Today, only three mosques in Constantine - Sidi El-Kettani, Sidi Lakhdar, and Hassan Bey - have preserved elements of Ottoman architectural expression. For example, the Hassan Bey mosque reproduced, for the first time, a plan with several small cupolas without a large central dome, also referred to as the Ulu Cami mosque in Bursa, using local techniques such as shell-shaped squinches and Zellige tilework. This study analyzes these mosques through architectural monographs, revealing a hybrid "local Ottoman" style shaped by Ottomanization policies and regional craftsmanship. It underscores the urgency of preserving this legacy and its potential to inspire contemporary mosque design.

Abstract

Most people believe architecture is not religiously significant, so only a few people study architecture. This assessment does not align with al-Ghazali's teachings, which state that architecture is a science society needs. This research aims to analyze architectural science in al-Ghazali's classification of knowledge. The research uses a descriptive analysis method with the Ihya Ulūm al-Dĩn (Revival of Religious Science) as the primary source. The research results show that (1) al-Ghazali classified knowledge into three groups, namely classification based on sources, methods, and laws of searching for it. (2) Based on the law of mastering it, al-Ghazali divided knowledge into five laws: individual obligation, social obligation, primary, permissible, and reprehensible. (3) In the context of al-Ghazali's classification of science, architecture is included in the category of religiously significant science, and seeking it is subject to a collective obligation (farḍ kifayah). The results of this research significantly contribute to the development of architectural science (1), providing a religious basis for its importance. (2) provide practical guidance so the architectural profession can draw closer to God.

Abstract

This study explores the spatial dynamics of liminality in a densely populated informal settlement in Kampung Cikini, Central Jakarta, during the Eid al-Adha ritual. As in many urban kampungs, in Kampung Cikini, streets and alleys serve as multipurpose spaces where residents extend domestic activities into the public realm, reflecting their adaptability in navigating spatial constraints. The study uses qualitative methods, such as participant observation and interviews, to examine how this unofficial urban setting fosters rituals and social connections. The idea of liminality is used to comprehend how Kampung Cikini's spaces change during Eid al-Adha, demonstrating how small lanes foster intimacy and group ritual attention, thereby fortifying bonds within the community. Streets and alleys, regarded as transitory spaces, can present concerns with mobility ambiguity and environmental sustainability when they become ritual settings. The study suggested that this group's festivity should incorporate eco-friendly customs. The study adds to a larger conversation about the significance of informal spaces in influencing social practices and urban experiences by using the spatial analytic technique of liminality.

Abstract

The anthropology of light is considered a relatively new field; it focuses on the interaction of light with the built environment and how it carries cultural, symbolic, and spatial meanings across societies. First introduced by Danielle Morali in 1994, it was later expanded by Mikkel Bille and Tim Flohr Sørensen in 2007, who examined light as material culture within the framework of social experience, focusing primarily on Western contexts. Building on the limitations of previous research, this study shifts the attention to the medinal world, where light plays a fundamental role in shaping spatial perception and social practices. Specifically, it explores the anthropology of light within the built environment of El-Djoun, the historic core of Blida, Algeria. Using qualitative methods such as walking interviews and architectural surveys, combined with a quantitative questionnaire. Through these mixed methods, the research adds a new dimension to the interdisciplinary approaches combining anthropology and architecture, contributing to our understanding of medinal dynamics. The results demonstrate that the medina's luminous feature is not incidental but embedded in its architectural fabric, expressing deep-rooted religious beliefs, cultural identity, and spatial philosophy. This research not only enhances our understanding of the medina’s socio-spatial dynamics but also demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary approaches that bridge anthropology and architecture.
