Modern Mosque With No Minaret Or Dome Angers Religious Hardliners

When looked closely at the new mosque typologies, it is easy to see that these new designs do not have a dome or minaret, like Emre Arolat Architecture's Sancaklar Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, which intended to break the design principles of the classical Ottoman mosque scheme. Pritzker Prize-winning Australian architect Glenn Murcutt completed his first mosque in Melbourne - the mosque is comprised of a series of lantern-like skylights, which are used to remind the effect of the minaret or dome.
