Moschee-Neubauten
In den letzten Jahrzehnten sind in Europa vermehrt Moschee-Neubauten entstanden. Lucia Stöcklis religionswissenschaftliche Studie geht der Geschichte der Etablierung der Moschee-Neubauten in England und der Schweiz nach und beleuchtet ihre Bedeutung für die Muslime. Anhand bestehender und in Planung befindlicher Bauprojekte arbeitet sie gemeinsame Strukturen sowie nationale Kontexte heraus und untersucht Themen wie die Entwicklung eines multifunktionalen Zentrums, die Rolle der Frau in den Moschee-Neubauten sowie den Stellenwert der Sichtbarkeit dieser Bauten für die Muslime.
Sacred Buildings
The building of religious structures represents a rare opportunity for the architect to concentrate on the creation of volume, space, and form. Sacred architecture is far less determined than other building tasks by functional requirements, norms, and standards. As a rule, it is free to unfold as pure architecture. Thus in design terms this building task offers enormous freedoms to the architect. At the same time, however, the special atmospherics of sacred spaces call, on the part of the architect, for a highly sensitive treatment of religion and the relevant cultural and architectural traditions. In a systematic section, this volume introduces the design, technical, and planning fundamentals of building churches, synagogues, and mosques. In its project section, it also presents about seventy realized structures from the last three decades. Drawing upon his in-depth knowledge of the subject and his many years of publishing experience, the author offers a valuable analysis of the conceptual and formal aspects that combine to create the religious impact of spaces (e.g., the ground plan, the shapes of the spaces, the incidence of light, and materiality).
Design Criteria for Mosques and Islamic Centres
The design principles necessary to create functional and dynamic contemporary mosques can be hard to grasp for those unfamiliar with the Islamic faith. Design Criteria for Mosques and Islamic Centers provides an easy-to-use and practical set of guidelines for mosque design, illustrated with 300 line drawings. Case studies of urban mosques in New York, Washington, Boston, and London and Birmingham amongst others, demonstrate how mosques and Islamic centers have evolved to integrate into the urban scenario. The book also compares tenets from Western and Eastern religious and secular philosophies and discusses their relation to architectural creation, place-making, meaning, and identity. The book shows how mosques fulfill multiple faith-based and social roles through their design; it provides a wide-ranging, basic understanding of Islamic liturgical conventions and secular functions to enable architects, designers, and community advocates to work with confidence. Design Criteria for Mosques and Islamic Centers is the first dedicated design guide for mosques and Islamic centers available. It: features case studies from the USA, UK, and Europe explains fundamental principles to make it easy to create viable design solutions for these exacting buildings that fulfi ll a range of social and religious roles.
