| Abstract
|
:
|
Most studies on mosque architecture in the U.S. examine the purpose-built mosque in an isolated manner based on an object-centric approach by focusing on the built structure, stylistic aspects, and components of design. These studies characterize the mosque through typologies of finished products and built exemplars, yet ignore the transformative, extended, and often contested process of design that leads to the realization of these structures. The previous research fails to explain the forces and conflicts behind mosque construction and how these forces and conflicts operate within the wider socio-economic and political context of specific Muslim communities.
