MOSQUE
TYPOLOGY
Brief History of Mosque
The mosque referred to in Arabic literature would indicate any of their
temples and includes specifically the Ka‘ba.

When the Prophet began preaching Islam he had met secretly at houses and
in the desert to teach Islam and pray together in the early form of Muslim
prayer.

The Prophet had migrated to Madina in the year 622 and had established a
prayer place at Quba’.

Although this is considered as the first mosque of Islam, it is the mosque of
the Prophet in Madina which was to become the most renowned mosque in
the history of Islam.
Function of the Mosque
The main activity of the mosque is the performance of congregational prayers.

The mosque also acts as an important education center for the formal teaching of
religious education.

It also serves as the administration center for the mosque officials and caters for
Muslim religious celebrations.

On Fridays Muslims gather at the mosque for the Friday congregational prayer that
occur as a substitute to the mid- afternoon prayer.

The Muslims listen to a short sermon and perform the prayer immediately after that.

The mosque is also the place where celebrations to commemorate important events
in Islam are held.
Mosque Architecture
in Malaysia:

Classification of Styles
and Possible Influence
There are seven styles of mosque architectural

                              :
language that can be classified

           Traditional Vernacular
           Sino-Eclectic
           Colonial
           North Indian
           Modern Vernacular
           Modernistic Expressionism
           Post-Modern Revivalism
Traditional Vernacular Style
There are three types of mosques in this category which can be distinguished
mainly from the use of the roof form:




 The first is the three tier pyramidal roof form as in that of Kampung Laut
 and Kampung Tuan believed to be built between the sixteenth and the
 seventeenth century.

  From the tip of the pyramid to the bottom of the columns, the mosques
  can be inscribed into an almost perfect cube.
The second type is the two tier pyramidal roof forms such as that of the
Papan and Lengeng Mosques .
.




They are built between the eighteenth and nineteenth century.
There are the single or double tier roof form in this typology. All of
the mosques are raised from waist to shoulder height.
All of the mosques in this stylistic classification are made of timber.
All of the mosques originally possess no serambi area. Many of the
serambi or verandah came later.




An interesting feature of these mosques is that they do not come
equipped with a minaret.

All are added later whilst some mosques are still without any minaret.
All of the mosques display only a single space layout and no indication
of subdivision can be found.

Since many of the mosques are built close to a river for ablution
purposes few of them have wells for preparation of prayer.




There is no indication that these early mosques were fenced up and
isolated from the villages.
All of the mosques use the traditional timber post and beam
system.

Columns on the exterior and the interior are common features
except in the Kampung Tuan Mosque.




In this particular mosque, there are only exterior column without
the traditional four or five internal pillars.
A close examination reveal that this particular mosque uses a unique
timber ‘space frame structure but known locally as the tiang gantung
system.


It is a fact that all the traditional Malay construction do not use any
form of truss system except the occassional king post which is
denoted as the ‘tiang gantung’.


Since the strongest debate about how Islam came to this region is
from the Acheh route or that of Pattani, it follows that the three tier
form might be influenced by the sacred form of the pagoda.


Many building craftsmen are actually Chinese and if there were Malay
craftsmen, they might have inherited their skills from the Chinese.

         Kampung Hulu
           mosque
Sino-Eclectic Style
The term Sino indicates a Chinese influence and,
Eclectic which denotes a combination of two or more
influence of architectural language.

There are two types of mosques in this category:

        Three tiered pyramidal roof form
        Double tier pyramidal roof form

Both types are similar in a majority of other features.

The differences between the two styles lie in the prominent
curvature of the roof ridges which is made of cement.
The mosque if this style sits on the ground and are not raised.

The all have slabs on grade which are raised about half a metre high
with stone stairways accessing to the main floor plan.

The plan of the mosque proper consists of the enclosed prayer area
and the serambi or verandah surrounding either three parts of the
square plan or all around it.

Masonry fenced and masonry pool for ablution area.




E.g. Kampung Hulu Mosque, the Tengkera Mosque and the Kampung Keling
Mosque , Melaka.
The walls are of masonry with timber door and window frames.
The floor is made of concrete on grade and usually tiled.
There are at least three doors on the non-Qibla walls with stone stairways to
match the entrances.




E.g. The Lebuh Acheh Mosque, Penang,
The roof structure is made of timber rafters purlins and sometimes simple
trusses. The roof materials is of clay tiles.




 The whole roof is supported primarily by four central column and nine or
 twelve perimeter columns
European Classical Style
     •Existed because of the colonialism in Malaysia.
     •Derived from the greco-roman heritage.
     •Arrived in Malaysia around 19th century.
     •Most common in Johor because of the chosen
     architectural style; Western Architecture by the Sultan of
     Johor
•A strong symetrical composition of the massing and space is also
an identifying feature.
•Uses of arches in every opening
•Heavy propotion of minarets
•Continues cornice inside the building
The Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque in Johor Bahru is equipped with four stout minarets with
small domes crowning the top. The main prayer hall has a closed hipped roof.
Mosque typology AND MOSQUE architecture in Malaysia
The Pasir Pelangi Mosque uses a
deep pyramidal roof form
reminiscent of the traditional
vernacular mosques of the past but
without any dividing tiers.
North Indian Style
1. The term is used to describe the imitative Moghul type architecture that once
   flourished colonial Malaya . The style is imitative Moghul/Moorish type
   architecture
2. Feature such as small and large onion domes, multitude of spires and small
   dome canopies.
3. More than 1 minaret, multifoil arches over decorated column.
4. The Ubudiah Mosque in Perak, the Kapitan Keling Mosque in Penang, the
   Jame’ Mosque and Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur are prime examples of this
   style
5. The plans of the mosques are similar to the mosques of any other style with its
   central domes and arched verandah way
6. The mosque compound is fenced up at the full perimeter with the usual
   parking and grass area
• The North Indian style is easily distinguished from any others due to its generous
  use of small and large onion domes, multitude of spires and small domed
  canopies, more than one minaret, horse shoe or multifoil arches over decorated
  columns.
E.g. The Ubudiah Mosque in Perak, the Kapitan Keling Mosque in
Penang, the Jame’ Mosque and Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur.
The plans of the mosques are similar to the mosques of any
other style with its central domes and arched verandah way.

The early twentieth century mosques were built of masonry
structure and enclosure system.

The roofs are covered with masonry domes.
Modern Vernacular Style
Refer to buildings which are constructed using mainly reinforced
concrete structural frame with plastered brick infill.

Considered ‘vernacular’ because the practice and availability of these
new materials and construction technique is the norm in this country
presently.
Portray a gable or pyramidal roof with a small dome or the more
expensive ones would find a larger single dome over the main
prayer space.

The verandah would be enclosed by a series of arches.

The plans of these mosques usually contain a single prayer space
with the women area being screened off on the rear part of the
space with a curtain or movable partitions.
Rusila Mosque in Terengganu and the Nik Aziz Mosque in Kelantan differs in that
they are used as madrasah or religious schools where the two Chief Ministers teach
the people daily.

These mosques possess an aura closer to that of the Prophet Muhammad’s early
mosque as they are used as community centers and places for travelers to rest
overnight.
The mosques were built purely from the most presently economic
way of construction and that is with the use of reinforced concrete
frame with brick infill.

The basic square or rectangle form derived from the construction
system is then ‘decorated’ with the accepted language of ‘mosque
architecture which is the use of arches and small or large domes.

The fenced up mosque projects the idea of separation between
daily lives hen that of the ritualistic ones.
MODERN
VERNACULAR STYLE
• Refer to buildings which are constructed using mainly
  reinforced concrete structural frame with plastered brick infill.

• Considered ‘vernacular’ because the practice and availability
  of these new materials and construction technique is the
  norm in this country presently.
• Rusila Mosque in Terengganu and the Nik Aziz Mosque in

  and small or large domes.

• The fenced up mosque projects the idea of separation
  between daily lives hen that of the ritualistic ones.
MODERNISTIC
        Much of these ideas relate to notion that a true
 architecture is one that rejects historic revivalism in any
 form, that rejects ornamentation in any form, that
 celebrates abstraction in forms and that celebrate the
 structural expression in architecture.




          EXPRESSIONISM   MODERNISTIC       STRUCTURALISM
MODERNISTIC
EXPRESSIONISM
• Derived from William J. Curtis’ classification of
  ‘expressionism’ as any form of architecture that carries a
  metaphoric message through the use of structurally
  expressive form.
• The Negeri Sembilan State mosque uses a series of
  intersecting reinforced concrete conoid to refer to the
  horn-like gable roofs of the Minang traditional
  architecture.
Mosque typology AND MOSQUE architecture in Malaysia
• The reference to the
  ‘bumbung gonjong’ is
  uniquely expressed in the
  structural play of the
  conoids.

• The architect had not
  resorted to the simplistic
  revivalism alternative of the
  traditional roof but has
  reinterpreted it in an
  abstract but creative way
• The Masjid Negara is the best example of the combination of
  a modernistic reinterpretation of traditional Malay
  Architecture with a folded plate ‘dome’ with a metaphor of a
  royal umbrella.
• Used an extensive set of serambi or verandah space with light
  courts and air wells to provide ample daylighting and passive
  cooling to the building.
MODERNISTIC
STRUCTURALISM
• Main structural system used reinforced concrete frames
  and shell.
• The folded plate and intersecting conoidal shells are seen
  as progressive images that can be attached to the
  dynamism of Islam.
• There is also a number of buildings of steel as the main
  structure with metal decks or Teflon stretched tents as
  the roofing.
• The form of the structures can be said to be borne solely
  by the architects because clients at whichever level of
  society are unable to understand or converse in the
  structural language and intricacies of structural
  metaphors.
Mosque typology AND MOSQUE architecture in Malaysia
Post-Modern Revivalism
The term post modern denotes an approach that contradict the principles and
edicts of what was understood as the modern style.

The term revivalism denotes one of the many ways which the post modernist
attempts to create an architecture of meaning for the general public rather than
for the elite.

There are two types of Post-Modern Revivalism :

                   Foreign Revivalism
                   Vernacular Revivalism
Foreign Revivalism in mosque architecture seems to be the order
of the day with such examples as the Putra Mosque, the Shah
Alam Mosque, the Wilayah Mosque, the UTM Mosque in
Johor, the Sarawak State Mosque, etc.


The use of an eclectic array of Iranian and Turkish
domes, Egyptian and Turkish minarets, Persian Iwan
gateways, lavish courtyards surrounded by the sahn, and an
Arabian hypostyle planning composition and pointed or semi
circular arches bathed in sumptuous classical ‘Islamic’
decorations.


The Vernacular Revivalism calls for a slightly less monumental
approach with its use of the three tiered pyramidal roof form built
either of concrete or timber.
Mosque typology AND MOSQUE architecture in Malaysia
Conclusions
There is a varied architectural style for mosque design in Malaysia.

One glaring conclusion is that the idea of a definitive ‘Islamic
Architecture’ vocabulary leaves much to be desired since there does not
seem to be a preference for any one particular style that is repeated.

The advocates of Middle Eastern revivalism must admit that though
Islam may have been given birth there, that fact is in no way a strong
support for the style’s monopoly over Islam.

Mosque typology AND MOSQUE architecture in Malaysia

  • 2. Brief History of Mosque The mosque referred to in Arabic literature would indicate any of their temples and includes specifically the Ka‘ba. When the Prophet began preaching Islam he had met secretly at houses and in the desert to teach Islam and pray together in the early form of Muslim prayer. The Prophet had migrated to Madina in the year 622 and had established a prayer place at Quba’. Although this is considered as the first mosque of Islam, it is the mosque of the Prophet in Madina which was to become the most renowned mosque in the history of Islam.
  • 3. Function of the Mosque The main activity of the mosque is the performance of congregational prayers. The mosque also acts as an important education center for the formal teaching of religious education. It also serves as the administration center for the mosque officials and caters for Muslim religious celebrations. On Fridays Muslims gather at the mosque for the Friday congregational prayer that occur as a substitute to the mid- afternoon prayer. The Muslims listen to a short sermon and perform the prayer immediately after that. The mosque is also the place where celebrations to commemorate important events in Islam are held.
  • 4. Mosque Architecture in Malaysia: Classification of Styles and Possible Influence
  • 5. There are seven styles of mosque architectural : language that can be classified Traditional Vernacular Sino-Eclectic Colonial North Indian Modern Vernacular Modernistic Expressionism Post-Modern Revivalism
  • 6. Traditional Vernacular Style There are three types of mosques in this category which can be distinguished mainly from the use of the roof form: The first is the three tier pyramidal roof form as in that of Kampung Laut and Kampung Tuan believed to be built between the sixteenth and the seventeenth century. From the tip of the pyramid to the bottom of the columns, the mosques can be inscribed into an almost perfect cube.
  • 7. The second type is the two tier pyramidal roof forms such as that of the Papan and Lengeng Mosques . . They are built between the eighteenth and nineteenth century. There are the single or double tier roof form in this typology. All of the mosques are raised from waist to shoulder height.
  • 8. All of the mosques in this stylistic classification are made of timber. All of the mosques originally possess no serambi area. Many of the serambi or verandah came later. An interesting feature of these mosques is that they do not come equipped with a minaret. All are added later whilst some mosques are still without any minaret.
  • 9. All of the mosques display only a single space layout and no indication of subdivision can be found. Since many of the mosques are built close to a river for ablution purposes few of them have wells for preparation of prayer. There is no indication that these early mosques were fenced up and isolated from the villages.
  • 10. All of the mosques use the traditional timber post and beam system. Columns on the exterior and the interior are common features except in the Kampung Tuan Mosque. In this particular mosque, there are only exterior column without the traditional four or five internal pillars.
  • 11. A close examination reveal that this particular mosque uses a unique timber ‘space frame structure but known locally as the tiang gantung system. It is a fact that all the traditional Malay construction do not use any form of truss system except the occassional king post which is denoted as the ‘tiang gantung’. Since the strongest debate about how Islam came to this region is from the Acheh route or that of Pattani, it follows that the three tier form might be influenced by the sacred form of the pagoda. Many building craftsmen are actually Chinese and if there were Malay craftsmen, they might have inherited their skills from the Chinese.
  • 12. Untuk mengatasi adanya penurunan pada batang tarik diujung atas kaki kuda-kuda dipasangi tiang dan ujung bawah tiang menggantung tengah-tengah batang tarik AB yang disebut tiang gantung.
  • 13. pagoda Kampung Hulu mosque
  • 14. Sino-Eclectic Style The term Sino indicates a Chinese influence and, Eclectic which denotes a combination of two or more influence of architectural language. There are two types of mosques in this category: Three tiered pyramidal roof form Double tier pyramidal roof form Both types are similar in a majority of other features. The differences between the two styles lie in the prominent curvature of the roof ridges which is made of cement.
  • 15. The mosque if this style sits on the ground and are not raised. The all have slabs on grade which are raised about half a metre high with stone stairways accessing to the main floor plan. The plan of the mosque proper consists of the enclosed prayer area and the serambi or verandah surrounding either three parts of the square plan or all around it. Masonry fenced and masonry pool for ablution area. E.g. Kampung Hulu Mosque, the Tengkera Mosque and the Kampung Keling Mosque , Melaka.
  • 16. The walls are of masonry with timber door and window frames. The floor is made of concrete on grade and usually tiled. There are at least three doors on the non-Qibla walls with stone stairways to match the entrances. E.g. The Lebuh Acheh Mosque, Penang,
  • 17. The roof structure is made of timber rafters purlins and sometimes simple trusses. The roof materials is of clay tiles. The whole roof is supported primarily by four central column and nine or twelve perimeter columns
  • 18. European Classical Style •Existed because of the colonialism in Malaysia. •Derived from the greco-roman heritage. •Arrived in Malaysia around 19th century. •Most common in Johor because of the chosen architectural style; Western Architecture by the Sultan of Johor
  • 19. •A strong symetrical composition of the massing and space is also an identifying feature. •Uses of arches in every opening •Heavy propotion of minarets •Continues cornice inside the building
  • 20. The Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque in Johor Bahru is equipped with four stout minarets with small domes crowning the top. The main prayer hall has a closed hipped roof.
  • 22. The Pasir Pelangi Mosque uses a deep pyramidal roof form reminiscent of the traditional vernacular mosques of the past but without any dividing tiers.
  • 23. North Indian Style 1. The term is used to describe the imitative Moghul type architecture that once flourished colonial Malaya . The style is imitative Moghul/Moorish type architecture 2. Feature such as small and large onion domes, multitude of spires and small dome canopies. 3. More than 1 minaret, multifoil arches over decorated column. 4. The Ubudiah Mosque in Perak, the Kapitan Keling Mosque in Penang, the Jame’ Mosque and Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur are prime examples of this style 5. The plans of the mosques are similar to the mosques of any other style with its central domes and arched verandah way 6. The mosque compound is fenced up at the full perimeter with the usual parking and grass area
  • 24. • The North Indian style is easily distinguished from any others due to its generous use of small and large onion domes, multitude of spires and small domed canopies, more than one minaret, horse shoe or multifoil arches over decorated columns.
  • 25. E.g. The Ubudiah Mosque in Perak, the Kapitan Keling Mosque in Penang, the Jame’ Mosque and Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur.
  • 26. The plans of the mosques are similar to the mosques of any other style with its central domes and arched verandah way. The early twentieth century mosques were built of masonry structure and enclosure system. The roofs are covered with masonry domes.
  • 27. Modern Vernacular Style Refer to buildings which are constructed using mainly reinforced concrete structural frame with plastered brick infill. Considered ‘vernacular’ because the practice and availability of these new materials and construction technique is the norm in this country presently.
  • 28. Portray a gable or pyramidal roof with a small dome or the more expensive ones would find a larger single dome over the main prayer space. The verandah would be enclosed by a series of arches. The plans of these mosques usually contain a single prayer space with the women area being screened off on the rear part of the space with a curtain or movable partitions.
  • 29. Rusila Mosque in Terengganu and the Nik Aziz Mosque in Kelantan differs in that they are used as madrasah or religious schools where the two Chief Ministers teach the people daily. These mosques possess an aura closer to that of the Prophet Muhammad’s early mosque as they are used as community centers and places for travelers to rest overnight.
  • 30. The mosques were built purely from the most presently economic way of construction and that is with the use of reinforced concrete frame with brick infill. The basic square or rectangle form derived from the construction system is then ‘decorated’ with the accepted language of ‘mosque architecture which is the use of arches and small or large domes. The fenced up mosque projects the idea of separation between daily lives hen that of the ritualistic ones.
  • 31. MODERN VERNACULAR STYLE • Refer to buildings which are constructed using mainly reinforced concrete structural frame with plastered brick infill. • Considered ‘vernacular’ because the practice and availability of these new materials and construction technique is the norm in this country presently.
  • 32. • Rusila Mosque in Terengganu and the Nik Aziz Mosque in Kelantan differs in that they are used as madrasah or religious schools where the two Chief Ministers teach the people daily.
  • 33. • The mosques were built purely from the most presently economic way of construction and that is with the use of reinforced concrete frame with brick infill. • The basic square or rectangle form derived from the construction system is then ‘decorated’ with the accepted language of ‘mosque architecture which is the use of arches and small or large domes. • The fenced up mosque projects the idea of separation between daily lives hen that of the ritualistic ones.
  • 34. MODERNISTIC Much of these ideas relate to notion that a true architecture is one that rejects historic revivalism in any form, that rejects ornamentation in any form, that celebrates abstraction in forms and that celebrate the structural expression in architecture. EXPRESSIONISM MODERNISTIC STRUCTURALISM
  • 35. MODERNISTIC EXPRESSIONISM • Derived from William J. Curtis’ classification of ‘expressionism’ as any form of architecture that carries a metaphoric message through the use of structurally expressive form. • The Negeri Sembilan State mosque uses a series of intersecting reinforced concrete conoid to refer to the horn-like gable roofs of the Minang traditional architecture.
  • 37. • The reference to the ‘bumbung gonjong’ is uniquely expressed in the structural play of the conoids. • The architect had not resorted to the simplistic revivalism alternative of the traditional roof but has reinterpreted it in an abstract but creative way
  • 38. • The Masjid Negara is the best example of the combination of a modernistic reinterpretation of traditional Malay Architecture with a folded plate ‘dome’ with a metaphor of a royal umbrella.
  • 39. • Used an extensive set of serambi or verandah space with light courts and air wells to provide ample daylighting and passive cooling to the building.
  • 40. MODERNISTIC STRUCTURALISM • Main structural system used reinforced concrete frames and shell. • The folded plate and intersecting conoidal shells are seen as progressive images that can be attached to the dynamism of Islam.
  • 41. • There is also a number of buildings of steel as the main structure with metal decks or Teflon stretched tents as the roofing. • The form of the structures can be said to be borne solely by the architects because clients at whichever level of society are unable to understand or converse in the structural language and intricacies of structural metaphors.
  • 43. Post-Modern Revivalism The term post modern denotes an approach that contradict the principles and edicts of what was understood as the modern style. The term revivalism denotes one of the many ways which the post modernist attempts to create an architecture of meaning for the general public rather than for the elite. There are two types of Post-Modern Revivalism : Foreign Revivalism Vernacular Revivalism
  • 44. Foreign Revivalism in mosque architecture seems to be the order of the day with such examples as the Putra Mosque, the Shah Alam Mosque, the Wilayah Mosque, the UTM Mosque in Johor, the Sarawak State Mosque, etc. The use of an eclectic array of Iranian and Turkish domes, Egyptian and Turkish minarets, Persian Iwan gateways, lavish courtyards surrounded by the sahn, and an Arabian hypostyle planning composition and pointed or semi circular arches bathed in sumptuous classical ‘Islamic’ decorations. The Vernacular Revivalism calls for a slightly less monumental approach with its use of the three tiered pyramidal roof form built either of concrete or timber.
  • 46. Conclusions There is a varied architectural style for mosque design in Malaysia. One glaring conclusion is that the idea of a definitive ‘Islamic Architecture’ vocabulary leaves much to be desired since there does not seem to be a preference for any one particular style that is repeated. The advocates of Middle Eastern revivalism must admit that though Islam may have been given birth there, that fact is in no way a strong support for the style’s monopoly over Islam.
