Exploring Religious Spaces through Architecture in David Macaulay’s Mosque

The aim of the article is to discuss the notion of religious space in David Macaulay’s Mosque through the exploration of the architecture of the mosque not only as a structure serving religious purposes but also a space of social activity bringing together the members of the community. Macaulay created Mosque as a response to the 9/11 attacks and its complex political and socio cultural global impact. Through the deployment of the mosque as a conceptual framework the notions of mobility, displacement and belonging are addressed as intersecting factors forging communal and individual identities
