The main concept is a spiraling motion. To understand the architectural concept, I recommend reading Mahmoud Shabistari's poem "The Flower Garden of Mystery".
The dome is made of steel, has a height and diameter of 35 meters. The total volume of steel in the project is 500 tons.
The mosque was designed as a modern complex with an enclosed area of about 32,000 m2. The mosque complex has indoor and outdoor prayer areas, a cultural center and the administrative center of the Faculty of Theology of Marmara University. There are conference rooms, a museum, a bookstore, a cafe, a cinema, and an art gallery on the territory.
The total prayer area is 2,385 m2 and can accommodate more than 4,000 people.
I highly recommend visiting this place!
The most convenient way to get to the mosque is by metro to Bağlarbaşı station.
Visiting hours of the Marmara Mosque: daily from 08:30 to 18:00, on Fridays from 14:00.
Very unusual
