Description


In the past, Muslim architects made great efforts to shape the mosque space and its features, based on the religious functions and social relations of the worshipers, and other economic and climatic factors.So the space was divided into two main parts, internal dedicated to worship (the prayer hall) and external to social (the open courtyard).The evolution of time and the succession of states does not mean a radical change in functions. Worship and prayer are constant, and people automatically build their social relationships in the mosques. Developing the shape, externally and internally, of the contemporary mosque in Jordan and designing it according to the latest structural capabilities and shapes is necessary, but the mosque is a mosque and still has specific and historically known functions. Here, the researchers conduct a study to measure the effect of these modern architectural forms on the spatial planning of the mosque, and also on the internal functions of the various spaces in the mosque, in comparison with some historical models in the mosque's architecture. This study is a critical study that aims to evaluate the spatial shape of contemporary mosques in Jordan, internally and externally, and to show the advantages and disadvantages of each mosque from the selected samples.
