The evolution of the mosque’s tectonic and structural features
The simple origin of the mosque is the prophet Muhammad's mosque in Medina, which was built from mud-bricks walls and palm-tree trunks and leaves for roofing, this has evolved into an intricate system of spatial designing and decorative creativity.
A European twist of a middle eastern style or westernisation of an oriental style ?
There were more than 5000 mosques in Eastern Europe , The Balkans,and Iberian peninsula ,Greece, Sicily, Cyprus, and Malta .
Most of these Mosques has been destroyed or altered to Churches or other functions . However many mosque buildings have survived and few still function as Mosques . Those were mostly comissioned by governors ,merchants sultans and princes .
Mosques: Religious and Cultural Significance
“Mosque” in Arabic is Masjid, which means “place of prostration.” Worshipers of Allah practice five daily prayers, which involve
reciting from the holy Quran standing, kneeling and touching the forehead to the ground in “prostration” .
In this sense, masjid can be anywhere that one kneels in time of
prayer, whether it be in private devotion at home, or in a remote location, or inside a mosque .

(Masjid , Al Jami’, Mosallah)
Major mosques in cities are commonly known as Al Masjid al jami’ (Congregational Mosque). A neighborhood mosque that does not hold Friday services is called ”Mosallah”.
Muslim worshipers pray towards the Ka’bah in Mecca, which is always on the inside of the “Qiblah” wall . where is a niche called the “ Mehraab ”, To the right of the mihrab is the “ Menbar ”,
a raised structure similar to a pulpit from where the Friday sermon is given.
Mosques became centers for community gatherings, political meetings, discussions of faith, providing for the poor. They also functioned as ”Madrasah” for Quranic classes . representing the collective heritage of the Islamic faith :
remembering Allah, and are unified in architectural and artistic style.

ISLAM
is one of the world largest religions , it is a strictly Monotheistic religion .
Though it does not permit picturing images of living creatures displayed ,
it allows all other art forms ,
Muslim artists and architects have developed many forms and patterns
derived from geometry and the plant's world.
One of most used forms is the octagon .
It represents the eight directions of the wind , and the eight known planets at that time .
I have chosen a deformed octagon to outline my design ,
it integrates the functions and layouts of the traditional mosque
in the context of the Swedish climate and urban patterns .
