Unveiling the Spiritual Essence in Contemporary Bahraini Mosques through Architectural Phenomenology
This research explores the impact of light phenomenology on user experience in contemporary mosques, focusing on mosques in Bahrain. The research aims to understand the significance of architectural phenomenology, and how light can contribute to affecting the user experience, particularly in smaller contemporary mosques. The theoretical study delves into the role of architecture in shaping space, a detailed examination of light phenomenology, its role in sacred spaces, and its effects on human beings. The case study involves a phenomenological analysis of three contemporary mosques, considering building orientation, natural light fenestration, material qualities, and artificial lighting. The results indicate that despite the absence of traditional Islamic elements, contemporary mosques in Bahrain successfully create a spiritual atmosphere through the integration of natural light. User surveys reveal a preference for mosques that provide a sense of spirituality, emphasizing the importance of light in enhancing the sacred experience.
