Kartal Dragos Kahramanlar Mosque (Heroes Mosque)

Information

The structure was solved with a compact planimeter based on the meaning of being cem. Even though the servant means something alone, the value and meaning of servitude increases as soon as the cem becomes the congregation. We set off with this metaphor.

In the shell that surrounds the mosque and gradient from top to bottom, the spaces that seem to be meaningless in the upper parts represent kul kul ‘. When they unite and form a whole (community), they express a pattern / meaning. In this way, both the importance of being a congregation was emphasized and light control of the mosque, whose first wall was transparent, was provided.
The 2nd Grille, which surrounds the mosque’s mass in a diagonal shape, provides integrity with the courtyard. The minaret is formed by elongation of some of the combs. In addition, the minaret in this way, even Kufi “” Allah “‘is the word. Again, the Musalla stone stands on the ground in front of the four feet symbolizes the four sects.

In the design of the mosque, where spiritual phenomena became objective form, privileged places were also considered for the ladies. There are various halls and service units that support all kinds of social activities and responses of the ladies. There is also a cafeteria, a Qur’an course, a conference room and a shower for the homeless.
