The Hassa Architects designed this mosque with a sense of tradition and used a lot of fractured geometry which is crucial to Islamic art. Modern construction techniques let us build the most intricate designs with ease. The motifs that are inspired by natural forms were transferred to steel, glass and glass fiber reinforced concrete in 3D.

The mosque is on the university’s Bağlarbaşı campus on the Asian side of İstanbul and sits on 30.000 square meters of area. It can house 5.000 people. It was planned as a social attraction center with classrooms, conference rooms, exhibition areas, theatre rooms and cafes.

This mosque is the first steel mosque in our country. Its steel structure sits on a decahedral cement base.

“The motifs that are inspired by natural forms were transferred to steel, glass and glassfiber reinforced concrete in 3D.”

One of the most attractive elements is the 1000 year old traditional wooden bridge wing which was constructed with steel, glass and GRC / GFRC this time. The central dome has a diameter of 35 meters and this 35 meter high central dome rests on twelve steel carriers.

FİBROBETON® products were also used for the Turkish triangle forms that tied the columns to the dome. The stepped helix structure was placed on the steel ridge ribs sat on the main steel beam. Each one of the FİBROBETON® materials used to dress the helix formed dome was prepared with specially constructed moulds. The geometry that was constructed by 22 different planes that were placed on top of each other comprises panels the sizes of which are between 7.84 and 3.81 meters.

The side windows of the mosque are reminiscent of Anatolian Seljuk architecture and the FİBROLİGHT® sunlight screens brought the inner and outer spaces together. The sunlight screens were carried over a special system of 7.39x7.57 meters of distance and were connected to the main steel construction. The same system was repeated at the mosque porticos. The carrier steel frames were hidden behind the sunlight screen panels and created the impression that the structure was hanging in the air.

FİBROBETON® products were used for claddings, dome, minarets, shadirvan, and the altar, comprising 9.340 square meters. 1532 square meters area of the 57.8 meter high steel framed minarets were clad with our FİBRO-MULTİFORM® panels.
