Designed by A Tasarim Mimarlik + Ali Osman Ozturk, With their powerful and dominant iconography, based upon tradition, mosque architecture is one of the most conservative building typologies in the Turkish context. On the other hand, referring traditional and local values creating a sense of sustainability had always been a major challenge in a modern understanding of mosque architecture.
Yasamkent mosque in this respect represents a research towards creating a sense of consciousness towards creating a peaceful continuity between traditional and modern values of cultural accumulation. Located in a relatively small plot within the new development area of Ankara, which also gives its name to the complex, Yasamkent mosque is the search for balance between open and closed areas, modesty and expression, identity and convention as well as modernity and tradition.
