澳大利亚建筑公司Candalepas Associates最近完成了“ Punchbowl清真寺 ”,这是位于悉尼西南部的具体杰作。一个20年的项目。
首席建筑师Angelo Candalepas于20世纪90年代中期首次被非营利组织澳大利亚伊斯兰教团(AIM)委托设计清真寺。当代建筑的几何内部设有一个主要的祈祷空间,在具有木材装饰的混凝土体积的背景下发生。层状混凝土板在木质衬里屋顶之前,有一个小天窗,让自然光线充足。清真寺的一个令人印象深刻的特征是它的99个混凝土铸造的凹形圆顶,它们将两个内墙分成两排,通过天窗,引入了光与影的相互作用。弯曲形状和平坦边缘的并置打破了场地的规模。

Australian architecture firm Candalepas Associates has completed ‘Punchbowl Mosque’, a concrete masterpiece located in Sydney’s southwest; a project 20 years in the making.
Lead architect Angelo Candalepas was first commissioned to design the mosque in the mid-1990s by the non-profit organization, Australian Islamic Mission (AIM). The geometric interior of the contemporary building houses a main space for prayer, which occurs against a backdrop of concrete volumes with timber accents. Layered slabs of concrete precede a timber-lined roof with a small skylight that lets in natural light. An impressive feature of the mosque is its 99 concrete-cast concave domes that step up two of the interior walls in rows, which, through the skylight, introduce an interplay of light and shadow. The juxtaposition of the curved forms and flat edges break down the scale of the venue.

圆顶是muqarnas的现代参考,muqarnas是传统伊斯兰建筑中装饰的拱顶形式。为了与传统保持一致,圆顶上将刻有99个上帝的金色书法名字。Candalepas有意识地为女性的崇拜画廊设计了一个夹层楼,因此“女性正好位于穹顶的中心,所以她们在某种程度上处于比他们下面的男人更强大的位置”,建筑师去年在接受采访时表示。清真寺的非凡设计与野蛮主义相比,特别是因为它使用原始混凝土作为主要材料。

The domes are a modern reference to muqarnas, an honored form of ornamented vaulting in traditional Islamic architecture. In keeping with tradition, the domes will be inscribed with the 99 names of God in gold calligraphy. Candalepas consciously designed a mezzanine floor for the women’s worship galleries, so that “The women are right at the center of the dome so they’re, in a way, placed in a more powerful position than the men who are below them,” the architect said in an interview last year. The mosque’s extraordinary design has been compared to Brutalism, in particular because of its use of raw concrete as the primary material.
