BeOffice Architects’ Fresh Take on the Typical Turkish Mosque
Religious sanctuaries are sheltered places where people can reflect on life in peace and quiet, protected from profane and commonplace everyday living. They were once designated places in nature where godly and consecrated deliberations appeared more personal and intense than other places. Over time, these sacred settings became available in human-made structures such as temples, churches, mosques, and other religious buildings.
BeOffice Architects has created a Turkish mosque that celebrates the accouterments of yore in Sanliurfais, where numerous ancient Seljuk- and Ottoman-age mosques are presently being renovated. Instead of a conventional building, the new mosque is spherical, surrounded by no human-made boundaries, and centers on serenity, the natural environment, and openness.
The Circle Of Synergy
BeOffice Architects defied tradition by designing a circular mosque, which highlights its endless nature, instead of the customary square or rectangular shape. With no defined borders or pointed edges, the 8,073-square-foot structure is welcoming and beckons to all. Paths and halls all lead to the inner sanctum of the central courtyard and heart of the mosque.
The journey to the center of the mosque is otherworldly. The view of the sky seems to reach into infinity. Trees and other greenery thrive all around the globular structure, and visitors are calmed and comforted by seemingly infinite water channels and a spiritually stimulating reflective pool.
