The aim of the article is to discuss the notion of religious space in David Macaulay’s1 Mosque through the
exploration of the architecture of the mosque not only as a structure serving religious purposes but also a space of
social activity bringing together the members of the community. Macaulay created Mosque as a response to the 9/11
attacks and its complex political and socio cultural global impact. Through the deployment of the mosque as a
conceptual framework the notions of mobility, displacement and belonging are addressed as intersecting factors
forging communal and individual identities.
