When the architectural plan is observed, we can see two neighbouring multi-purpose halls in the main centre, each with an area of 250 sqm. Study halls for training and education purposes, gyms, ablution rooms, social activity services and other areas servicing the users of the “Social Complex”, such as a kitchen/tea house and cleaning rooms, are connected to the large halls through narrow corridors. This modernized “Social Complex” offers the spirit of the old-school social complex spirit, where the inner court is accessed from the smaller units.

One can say that these two court-halls, gathering children, youth and adults under miscellaneous social and religious activities, are also the most emphasizing points of the building that establishes the communication of the building with its surroundings. The wide openings at the intersection of the west and south facades of the building, left from the old market building, were redesigned as the main gates of the “Social Complex” using transparent material. This inviting large transparency opening into the outer world reminds us the portals of the historical social complexes. These large transparent openings on the outer facades of this modern social complex, serving as mysterious main gates, also form an excellent illumination composition for the inner spaces.

Windows of different sizes on the outer walls of the building, as well as the number of openings, contain some mystical religious symbolism. The North and South facades contain 19 window openings each, while the Western façade contains 9 and the Eastern façade contains 10 window openings (9+10=19). Here, the architect made metaphorical use of the mystery of the number 19, which is acknowledged as the mathematical code of Koran. For instance, the Basmala contains 19 letters, the Koran contains 114 sections (6 times 19), the first section contains 19 verses, the last section contains 19 words, etc. Another important symbolism on the facades containing such religious number codes is that the southern façade of the building contains a window that has no opening but only the window frame. In the Islam religion, this symbolizes the belief that that every perfect work incorporates a small imperfection in it; in other words only Allah is totally perfect.

The “Social Complex” project, located in Gelsenkirchen-Germany, which can be referred to as a modern “külliye”, blends perfectly into the green of its surrounding environment with its red-coloured facades. Whereas, the outdoor area in front of the Mosque and the “Social Complex” hosts many activities, charity bazaars, etc., offering a warm welcome to all its visitors, whether young or old, man or woman.
