CHANGING FORMS AND FUNCTIONS: THE TRANSFORMATION OF MOSQUE ARCHITECTURE FROM THE EARLY ISLAMIC PERIOD TO THE PRESENT

Öz

This article examines the evolution of mosque architecture from the early Islamic period to the present. Mosques hold a significant place in Islamic art and architecture and symbolize the cultural, social, and political life of Muslim communities. Over time, mosque architecture has undergone significant changes, evolving from the modest structures of the early Islamic period to the monumental and technologically advanced designs of modern times. In the early Islamic period, mosque architecture was characterized by simple and functional designs, such as large open courtyards and covered prayer areas. The Prophet's Mosque in Medina, built in 622 CE, is a notable example of this architectural approach. With the spread of Islam, essential architectural elements like the mihrab, minaret, and geometric decorations emerged. During the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, mosque architecture became more complex. The Umayyads, influenced by Roman and Byzantine architecture, constructed grand structures. The Abbasids integrated educational and social functions into mosque complexes. The Ottoman Empire developed a unique style that combined Islamic, Byzantine, and Persian elements. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque and Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul are striking examples of this style. In the modern era, mosque architecture has evolved by incorporating contemporary design principles and materials. The use of reinforced concrete, glass, and steel has enabled innovative structural designs. The Faisal Mosque in Pakistan and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi blend traditional Islamic architectural elements with modern aesthetics and technologies. This study analyzes the changes in mosque architecture concerning form, function, and ornamentation. The transition from traditional to modern materials and construction techniques has allowed for the creation of complex and visually impressive designs. The ability of mosque design to adapt to local climatic conditions and cultural contexts highlights the dynamic nature of Islamic architecture. In conclusion, the evolution of mosque architecture demonstrates significant changes in aesthetic, structural, and functional aspects. Modern mosques offer spacious and multifunctional areas. This evolution illustrates how mosque architecture has been shaped by historical and cultural dynamics and contributes to social integration and the preservation of cultural heritage. This research provides valuable insights into the evolution of mosque architecture and serves as a reference for future architectural design projects.
