About Essence of Faith Мечеть

"Итгэлийн мөн чанар" бол Саудын Арабын Таиф хотын цөлийн орчинд зориулан зохион бүтээгдсэн мечеть юм. Энэхүү загвар нь минимал хэлбэрүүдийг уламжлалт исламын элементүүдтэй хослуулсан болно. Цэвэрхэн шугамууд, задгай орон зай нь тайван уур амьсгал бий болгож, цонхнууд нь дотоод орчинд байгалийн гэрлийг оруулах байдлаар байрлуулагдсан. Гол намаз уншдаг танхим нь мусульманчуудыг кибла руу чиглүүлж, эрэгтэй, эмэгтэй хүмүүст зориулсан тусдаа орох хаалга, намазын талбайтай. Тахарат хийх талбайнууд, минарет, имамын байр, дивания зэрэг нь шашны болон нийгмийн хэрэглээг дэмждэг. Үндсэн барилга нь бетон, тоосгоор баригдсан бөгөөд шпаклевка, мод, шил, чулуун гадаргуутай.
