Mosque architectural space: from a phenomenology of senses to multiple realities.

Abstract

The architectural space of a mosque can be determined using ocular-based assessment, however, a question arises in contradiction to this notion; is the ocular aspect all that the architectural space conveys to reality? This study suggests that architectural space as a phenomenon, which reveals itself to the human senses, experience, meaning, and memory will define the reality or even multiple realities of mosque buildings.
