COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF MOSQUES IN TURKISH AND IRANIAN ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

As old civilizations, Turkey and Iran are rich in architectural heritage. Islamic period has played a crucial role in emergencing a distinct type of Islamic architecture of them. Moreover, the similarities of the historical periods fostered cross-cultural relations and artistic interactions that produced, in particular, the architectural characteristics of each period, a phenomenon that is even more important when comparing the Seljuk period in Turkey and Iran. The reason for this lies in the richness of architecture of the Seljuk period that both countries have in common. In this regard, the mosque has played a significant role as a socio-political center in both countries. Therefore, the present study aims to better understand the mosque structure in the two countries and to convey the religious values and social functions of cross-cultural architectural design as a guideline for the design of contemporary mosques. The results reveal three patterns for mosques in both countries, highlighting similarities and differences between them. Turkish mosques were influenced by Byzantine and Iranian architecture, while Iranian mosques were inspired by the the ancient Sasanian architecture and pre-Islamic religious structures in Iran.
