1000 Kişilik Cami
Turkey , 2019
The 1000-people mosque project was proposed within the scope of "Mosque Design Idea Competition" organized by the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning. The aim of the competition is to provide the sharing of ideas about the mosque, which is a place of worship of Islam, with a focus supported by various side functions.
rggA's project is proposed as a method of thinking and designing methodology rather than a general typology or a repeatable project type. Despite the simplicity of rggA's proposal in its functional solution, it interrogates the concept of a mosque problem to open up the discussion of how a mosque should be handled as a multi-layered concept.
You can read the details of the project from the architectural competition report.
