Abstract

The Mosque is the center of Muslim life and Islamic culture. More than people usually think of as a place of prostration, the Mosque is a source of activity. Each mosque building has its characteristics and character, according to the ideas and ideas of the designer. This research reviews the characteristics of the Achmad Noe'man mosque from 1964-2010. The objectives to be achieved are (1). Classification of types of mosques according to Achmad Norman (2). Identify and explore similarities in characteristics/consistency and diversity, and (3) Explain the factors related to changes in these characteristics. This research uses descriptive and exploratory methods to reveal the character of the Mosque. The qualitative analysis method applied is through geographic information system analysis. The data used is spatial data, which is a qualitative classification. The variables used to determine changes in city morphology are land use, road patterns, buildings and open spaces. The results of the research show that the mosque building is starting to experience changes with the shape of the dome roof, the main room or prayer room being free of columns/poles, the use of basic geometric shapes such as cubes, blocks, the use of stained glass elements and openwork rosters as decorative ornaments on the walls and openings of the building walls. The building is dominated by a square shape to maximize space efficiency, formed from a composition of massive planes and transparent walls.
