Şakirin Mosque, Modern mosque in Üsküdar, Turkey
The Şakirin Mosque features a central dome made of aluminum composite materials and two 35-meter minarets that rise against the Istanbul skyline.
The mosque, inaugurated in 2009, was built by the Semiha Şakir Foundation to honor the memory of İbrahim Şakir and Semiha Şakir.
The interior design by Zeynep Fadıllıoğlu incorporates traditional Seljuk motifs with contemporary elements, marking the first mosque interior designed by a woman in Turkey.
The mosque accommodates 500 worshippers and includes a parking garage beneath the structure, with spaces for community gatherings and exhibitions.
Large windows created by artist Orhan Koçan filter natural light through the prayer hall, while a water feature by William Pye adds dimension to the courtyard.
