Religious Architecture › Mosque

Altunizade Theology Faculty Mosque is designed by by Hassa Architecture as architectural tradition's interpretation of today's vernacular.

Being inspired by the rotational movement that takes part in the whole universe from macrocasmos to microcosmos, the mosque is in the pursuit of a new horizon in the mosque architecture by uniting "the part in the whole" and "the whole in the part" notion with the fractal character of the nautilus form and the inspration of millenarian traditional ceiling technic.
