A Contemporary Interpretation of Tradition in Mosque Design. Marmara Llahiyat Mosque, Turkey

In recent years, the concept of contemporary mosque architecture has
emerged in all Islamic countries. The goal of these structures which are
produced using original designs, contemporary materials, technology and
construction systems is to design structures which suit modern architectural
concepts of today in the architecture of traditional mosques. Taken up with
contemporary plan and form concepts rather than traditional plans,
contemporary lines and interpretations are seen in liturgical elements such as
the mihrap, dais, pulpit, gallerys, courtyard, fountain and minaret, which are
indispensable elements of the mosque architecture in these mosques. One of
the important points that is dwelled upon with these structures is their interior
design.
