Synopsis

This book consists of eight topics which discusses on pendentive dome mosque architecture. It contributes architectural design knowledge which emphasizes on sustainable development based on Islamic perspective in the mosque architecture in Anatolia and Bosnia as well as in the Balkan region. The mosque design should become the model (primary reference) to other building designs because the design postures an act and intention of the man's prostration to the God's natural built environment. This book also discusses on Ottoman mosque architecture in Anatolia and its influence to the mosque design in Bosnia Herzegovina and the Balkan region. All topics are supported by either analytical or literature findings, which can benefit the future research, education and practices.
