Acoustical design of mosques is critical considering speech and music related activity patterns held in such religious spaces. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of practicing acoustics of mosques as early as in the concept design stage. Within this framework, design issues of a contemporary mosque, namely, Dogramacizade Ali Pasa Mosque in Ankara, Turkey are discussed. The edifice known as the technological mosque with its eclectic interpretation has a unique architectural style. The architectural design of the mosque is heavily supported with acoustical design in all phases. Computer simulation is applied as an acoustical design tool and estimations are held by commercial room acoustics software. Results are justified with real size field measurements inside the mosque and related objective acoustical parameters including reverberation time (RT or T30), clarity (C50 or C80), speech transmission index (STI) and A-weighted sound levels (SPL-A) are assessed. Evaluation of the space indicates that the optimized acoustical field is proper for intended functions of use in a mosque and satisfies desired tranquil environment.

Dynamic Speech Spectrum Representation and Tracking Variable Number of Vocal Tract Resonance Frequencies With Time-Varying Dirichlet Process Mixture Models
Özkan, Emre; Demirekler, Muebeccel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-11-01)
In this paper, we propose a new approach for dynamic speech spectrum representation and tracking vocal tract resonance (VTR) frequencies. The method involves representing the spectral density of the speech signals as a mixture of Gaussians with unknown number of components for which time-varying Dirichlet process mixture model (DPM) is utilized. In the resulting representation, the number of formants is allowed to vary in time. The paper first presents an analysis on the continuity of the formants in the sp...
Use of traditional elements in contemporary mosque architecture in Turkey
Ürey, Özgür; Peker, Ali Uzay; Balamir, Aydan; Department of Architecture (2010)
This study aims to explore the contemporary mosque architecture in Turkey, through a survey of the selected cases, focusing mainly on the use of traditional elements of mosque architecture. The selected cases are outstanding examples of contemporary mosque architecture in Turkey. Their architects are innovative in their design decisions and displayed their own design approach and interpretation outside the main stream of contemporary mosque design Turkey. In this framework, six mosques for every decade begi...
The Status of pious women in Sunni Islam: a study on the public religious practices of women in Ankara
Uzar Özdemir, Figen; Saktanber, Ayşe Nur; Department of Sociology (2017)
The aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate how pious women’s undertaking of public Islamic practices shapes their social status within the private domains such as their families and neighborhoods and public spaces of the mosque and Quran courses in urban Ankara in contemporary Turkey. I conducted an ethnographic field study in the Quran courses in three districts of Ankara, namely Bahçelievler, Çukurambar and Sincan which are middle, upper middle and lower middle class respectively. This study focuses o...
Transformation of secularism in Turkey: debating post-secularism under the AKP rule
Konuralp, Emrah; Ayata, Ayşe; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2016)
Post-secularism literature has been developed to respond the need for resolving problem of pluralism in the Western societies by putting emphasis on inviting the religious to the public sphere. The main goal of this research is to transpose this literature to the analysis of Turkish experience which is an officially secular and predominantly Muslim context. Turkey under the rule of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) can be considered as an example of post-secularism. The AKP is seen as an evolution of ...
Choice and context in the late antique architecture : Questioning the clician "Domed Basilicas"
Belgin-Henry, Ayşe; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of History of Architecture (2003)
This thesis reviews the architectural context of four churches in western Cilicia. These churches, namely the East Church at Alahan, the "Cupola Church" at Meryemlik, the "Domed Ambulatory Church" at Dağspazaŗ, and the "Tomb Church" at Corycus, have been tentatively grouped by Stephen Hill under the name of "Domed Basilicas" based on their resemblance to the early 6th century models in Constantinople, the most famous being the Hagia Sophia. However, the "dome" comes forward in the Constantinopolitan contex...
