Spatial Analysis of Grand Mosque (Masjed ol Haram)
Abstract:
Religious places are always considered as important by believers. It is due to people’s faithful belief as well as specific spatial، meaningful structure; signs; and symbols which are in such places. In a non-religious viewpoint، the spatial analysis of these places indicates how the followers of the religion interact with these places. Therefore، it is possible to find common parameters in religious places such as: glorious structures، high ceilings، culmination of human art in every aspect، special practices in these places. The importance of these places is so much that the continuation of the religions was impossible without them in the history. Thus، spatial analysis of these special places will contribute to a two-dimensional understanding of the place (space) and human. Grand mosque – as the only Kiblah for Muslims and the most important structure in the Islamic world – has similarities and differences in comparison with other important religious structures. Among the considerable differences are its simplicity and avoidance of any art boasting and human creativity. Spatial analysis of the mosque indicates somehow the abstract of the Islamic Worldview about God، mankind، universe، life، death، and complicated relations between such concepts and basic words of human life.
