CULTURE AND EDUCATION

Sancaklar Mosque

A tranquil validation of the essence of Islam located in

suburban Büyükçekmece, Sancaklar Mosque avoids form-

based discourse altogether. Blending into a hillside facing

gated communities and surrounded by a neat slate wall, the

mosque complex creates a serene space for worship. The

interior is equally sleek, subtly illuminated, with daylight

streaming in from the Qibla wall. The only embellishment is

a single inscription: ‘Remember your Lord much.’
