Architecture - Istanbul (2025)

The 4th International Conference on Mosque Architecture will be held from November 3rd to 8th, 2025, in Istanbul. It is organized in partnership between the Abdullatif Al Fozan Award for Mosque Architecture and Istanbul Technical University.

Conference Venue :
Taşkışla

Designed by English architect William James Smith, Taşkışla was built to provide the Medical School with modern equipment in a brand-new masonry building.

It served as a military hospital for French soldiers during the Crimean War (1853-56) and underwent renovation during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz.

Damaged by a powerful earthquake in 1894, the building was restored by eminent architects Raimondo D’Aronco and Alexander Vallaury. In 1944, it was allocated to Istanbul Technical University.

Renovation and adaptive re-use projects by Professor Paul Bonatz and Professor Emin Onat transformed it into housing for the faculties of Architecture and Civil Engineering as well as the Rectorate.
