Mosque construction, changing the urban landscape of a city.

Mosque construction, changing the urban landscape of a city.
public conversation on the construction of Mosques
19:00-21:00

A historical perspective will be presented to form a basis for our informal conversations. As a basis, Muzaffer Özgüleş, initiator of this meeting, will focus on Istanbul between 1450 and 1750. After examining the alteration of Constantinople into Istanbul by means of mosque complexes built on the dominating hills of the historical peninsula, we will turn to Netherlands and deal with mosque construction, its meaning and functionality. Both Wilfried van Winden as Memar.Dutch Architects have an outspoken position in this field that will be presented by them. After these informal lectures, we will have our conversations

Architects and scholars with their different styles will participate in this public debate in order to expose distinct individual approaches and the place they might find themselves in today’s Netherlands.

Participants:
Muzaffer Özgüleş (student at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven)
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hüsnü Yegenoglu (Department of Architecture, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven)

Wilfried van Winden (Molenaar & van Winden, architect of Dutch mosques)
