A typological study of mosque internal spatial arrangement: A case study on Malaysian mosques (1700-2007)

The paper presents the results of a study on internal design of Malaysian mosques from a typological way of research. Specifically it will look at the form and spatial variety which leads to the functionality of interior space. Orientation of mosques is taken into serious consideration because the p...
