ABDÜLHAMİT HAN MOSQUE

RELIGIOUS & CULTURE BUILDINGS

Project Description

The project is a community center, designed to house 300 students for the theological education of minors, including the educational spaces and accomodation, a mosque for 500 people, social facilities for students and guests, and commercial spaces for the community. Located on a site with a moderate slope, with a view towards the blacksea, the design incorporates several setbacks to adapt to the slope of the site. During the design process, it was intended to achieve a modest visual expression and integrate different functional units together. For this purpose, the design relies heavily on the use of arches to create a visual unity.
