Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque // Adnan Kazmaoğlu Mimarlık Araştırma Merkezi

Text description provided by the architects.

The main idea of mosque design; It was formed by crystallizing the mass and space with a solid geometry around the pentagonal base constructed with rhombuses. Thus, the symbolized traditional mosque dome image was preserved and the modern mosque shell form was obtained. The closed balcony minaret, which is integrated with the main mass of the crystal mosque rising from the hollow courtyard, was designed with parallel geometric principles.
