Abstract

The architectural landscape of mosques dynamically reflects cultural identities and societal needs. This study compares Turkish mosque architecture, focusing on the Sunshine Mosque in Melbourne, Australia, and mosques in Istanbul and Antalya. Using mixed methods, including observations and spiritual experiences, and an interpretive approach, the research examines how Ottoman-influenced designs diverge from traditional mosque designs. The study aims to reveal the architectural, spatial, and spiritual differences between Turkish mosques in Australia and those in Türkiye. The findings highlight the Sunshine Mosque's adaptation to the Australian Muslim community, including the incorporation of outdoor amenities and its redefinition as a spiritual and social hub. The use of climate-adapted materials and increased inclusivity for elderly worshippers is emphasized. Turkish mosques in Melbourne tend to be minimalist, less bulky, and spacious, lacking inner courtyards due to land constraints and a lack of regional planning standards within a multicultural, secular system. The Sunshine Mosque and iconic Turkish mosques are critical landmarks in urban planning and public transportation, sharing architectural elements inspired by Ottoman design. Both are vital community hubs for religious, social, and cultural activities and incorporate significant Islamic symbols. In secular countries, places of worship face minimal spatial-planning regulations, with the community focus often shifting toward engineering concerns.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic architectural principles on the design of traditional houses of the Bajo tribe in Bajo Village, Soropia Subdistrict, Southeast Sulawesi. Using a descriptive-analytical method, data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The study involved 123 traditional Bajo houses categorized into three types: water-based, semi-water-based, and land-based. Key architectural elements, including building orientation, spatial layout, use of building materials, and roof and foundation design, were examined. The findings reveal that the orientation of Bajo houses towards the Qibla is influenced by Islamic teachings, particularly in QS. Al-Baqarah 2:143, while privacy and simplicity in spatial arrangement are aligned with QS. An-Nur 24:27-28 and QS. Ar-Rum 30:41. Islamic spiritual values are also reflected in the design of roofs and foundations, symbolizing the greatness of Allah and the balance of life as stated in QS. Al-Baqarah 2:255 and QS. Al-Hujurat 49:9. This research highlights the significance of integrating Islamic values in architectural practices, especially in preserving traditional Bajo houses, which serve not only as dwellings but also as transmitters of religious and cultural values. The study offers new insights into the relationship between religion, culture, and architecture in a local context, while providing practical guidance for the preservation and development of traditional architecture amidst modernization.

Abstract

Color is an important architectural element that expresses a nation's culture, traditions, and unique social behaviors. Color is influenced by the place's geography, the nature of the land, prevailing climatic conditions, and available local materials. All of which contributed to building color schemes associated with specific regions. The Old City of Mosul is one of the earliest urban centers influenced by the Islamic conquest. Located on the western bank of the Tigris River, it possesses a rich architectural and historical legacy that reached its peak during the Umayyad period. The recent war in Mosul has caused significant destruction to the urban fabric of the old city. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the color scheme of the riverfront of the old city in Mosul, with a view to leveraging it in the rebuilding and restoration of this devastated city. The methodology of the practical study began with drawing the river façade in AutoCAD, followed by analyzing digital images in MATLAB to identify the characteristics of the façade's color scheme and its color relationships, which varied in hue, color intensity, and light value. These contributed to the formation of dark and light areas, generating a scene of color blocks superimposed at different levels, unified through color harmony and contrast relationships, which maintained the unity and continuity of vision at both near and far distances along the river façade. The research found attractive color points along the riverfront, the most important of which are deep shadow spots with achromatic color, which are concentrated in the central area due to accumulation, mass overlap, and high building density.

Abstract

Ensuring that tourist attractions are easily accessible to all groups is one of the main objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Easily accessible tourist attractions contribute to social justice and improve the overall quality of human development for all segments of society, in particular individuals. People with disabilities who often encounter obstacles when they want to visit these destinations. Therefore, it is very important to implement measures that improve the accessibility of tourist attractions, including information, physical facilities, and services. This is especially related to religious tourism at the Sunan Kudus Tomb, one of the religious tourist attractions in Kudus City. The method used in this research is based on universal design principles. Accessibility assessment data is collected using a checklist aligned with 7 universal design principles, including fairness in use, flexibility, simplicity and intuitiveness, clear information, tolerance, minimal energy consumption, and consideration of size and space for users. In addition, the study refers to the technical criteria outlined in Regulation No. 14/PRT/M/2017 of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. The study found that accessibility ratings varied across facilities. Specifically, the entrance was the only facility categorized as accessible. In contrast, the exit, ablution area, and entrance hall were categorized as less accessible. In addition, toilets and signs & information were classified as inaccessible. Proposed improvements to the accessibility of Sunan Kudus religious tourism sites can be made by adopting an ergonomic approach.

Abstract

Madrasah in Malaysia has established a significant role in becoming one of the Islamic educational institutions. The development of madrasahs as sources of Islamic knowledge, known to be imparted to the Muslim community, plays a crucial role in disseminating Islamic educational values, namely syumul, kamil, adil, and alami, not only during the learning process but also during the early design planning of madrasah architecture. This adopts a conscious approach to make madrasah a medium for conveying values and to design an appropriate built environment through architectural elements that prioritize the Islamic way of life, based on the basic teachings of Al-Quran and Sunnah. However, in Malaysia, no comprehensive studies have explicated how the learning spaces in madrasah design can convey Islamic educational values through physical design aspects. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the potential of Islamic educational values to influence the architectural design elements of learning spaces and madrasah buildings using socio-semiotic theory. Furthermore, this study applied the hermeneutic method through the interpretivism paradigm to understand this phenomenon through a case study. The two indicators of architectural elements of madrasah buildings, form-making and spatial components, are analyzed to document the values that enhance the adaptability of the learning process, reinterpretation of the built environment, and realization of the reality of the institutions. This study will benefit many parties in providing recommendations for madrasah design, referring to Islamic educational values as an architectural design approach during the early design planning. This approach can serve as guidelines for designers, showing that madrasahs can function as signs and symbols of the transitional dimensions of Islamic educational values towards the sustainability of the built environment through the unity of community, equality of learning opportunities, and the rejuvenation of spiritual and psychological aspects of life.

Abstract

Kudus was the only city in Java named after Arabic (al-Quds), meaning "the holy or sacred." The city in Central Java was built by Sunan Kudus, one of the walisongo (the nine saints), early Islamic spreaders in Java in the 15th–16th centuries; it was made sacred by the Javanese people. The Kudus community believed that the city’s existence and continuity were related to the sacred figure of Sunan Kudus. This study aimed to understand the meaning of the sacred city of Kudus. The method used in this study was descriptive, analytical, and interpretive, referred to as the processual symbolic analysis. To reveal the meaning of Kudus as the sacred city, there were two steps. First step: interpreted every step of the ritual of Sunan Kudus haul through the symbols created and used by the people involved, which could be observed in their behavior. Second step: interpreted the relation of symbols and related it to the whole system and the practice of community life in Kudus city. The analysis and interpretation of the meaning is carried out within the framework of Javanese culture. The results of this study concluded that the ritual of Sunan Kudus haul aimed to ensure safety and welfare, support the ritual's annual continuity, and make it taboo. Kyais and students (santri) play a big role. This study was expected to contribute to knowledge in general and could position it in the global context of sacred places.

Abstract

The Arabic terms used by the early sources to describe the first Islamic mosques were as simple as the buildings themselves. Over time, as mosque architecture matured into its characteristic forms, the associated terminology became more refined and specialized. The varied terms for similar architectural elements often reflected chronological and regional influences, shaped by a multitude of cultural factors and the progression of the elements themselves. This lexicon was also influenced by the colloquial language of the early sources, their familiarity with architectural traditions, and/or even retrospective interpretations. Overall, a careful analysis of the vocabulary related to early mosque architecture provides valuable insights into its evolution and the cultural forces that molded its defining features.
