Masjid Selimiye: Perbezaan antara semakan

'''Masjid Selimiye''' ([[Bahasa Turki]]: ''Selimiye Camii'') adalah sebuah [[masjid]] di bandaraya [[Edirne]], [[Turki]]. Masjid ini telah ditugas oleh Sultan [[Selim II]] dan telah dibinakan oleh arkitek [[Mimar Sinan]] di antara [[1568]] dan [[1574]]. Ia dianggap oleh Sinan sebagai karya agungnya dan adalah salat satu pencapaian tertinggi seni bina Islam.

While conventional mosques were limited by a segmented interior, Sinan's effort at Edirne was a structure that made it possible to see the ''[[mihrab]]'' from any location within the mosque. Surrounded by the four tallest [[minaret]]s in the Muslim world, the Mosque of Selim II has a grand dome atop it. Around the rest of the mosque were many additions: [[library|libraries]], schools, hospices, [[bathhouse|baths]], soup kitchens for the poor, markets, [[hospital]]s, and a [[cemetery]]. These annexes were aligned axially and grouped, if possible. In front of the mosque sits a rectangular court with an area equal to that of the mosque. The innovation however, comes not in the size of the building, but from the organization of its interior. The mihrab is pushed back into an [[apse]]-like [[alcove]] with a space with enough depth to allow for window illumination from three sides. This has the effect of making the tile panels of its lower walls sparkle with natural light. The amalgamation of the main hall forms a fused [[octagon]] with the dome-covered square. Formed by eight massive dome supports, the octagon, is pierced by four half dome covered corners of the square. The beauty resulting from the conformity of geometric shapes engulfed in each other was the culmination of Sinan's life long search for a unified interior space.
