Abstract

Islamic influence has played a major role in the formation of the visual arts of Islam in Malaysia. Some elements of visual art have been designed to meet the elements of Islamic art. Through the architecture of the mosque, there are three entities of Islamic art that highlighted which is Calligraphy, Arabesque and Geometric Pattern. Each entity has its own strength. The study relates to the use of Islamic geometric patterns found in mosque in Malaysia. The mosque is a symbol of Islamic Identity while mihrab. Pulpit, minaret and dome are four keys characteristic that exist in every mosque. The aim of the research on the 13 state mosques in Malaysia is to identify, analyse and review the manufacturing process design geometric patterns of Islamic using Gestlat Theory and Concept of Haqiqah and Ihsan. The design of this study used a qualitative approach and data collected through observation, interview and visual Photo during field work session. Result showed that the design of geometric patterns of Islamic mosque for each state in Malaysia is different. This is because some state mosques in Malaysia do not emphasize the element of Islamic architecture in the construction of the mosque. According to findings of the data obtained only eleven states of mosque using Islamic geometric pattern on the dome, pulpit, minarate and mihrab. Eleven geometric pattern have been identified consisting of geometric patterns Square, looping 2x rectangular, looping rectangle ‘rhombus’, looping 2x square/octagonal, looping 2x aquare/ octagonal (2x4=8), hexagon and square ‘kite’ and looping 2x hexagon (2x6=12), triangle and decagon. The study also found the most respondents in interviews less understand, especially in Islamic geometric design. In conclusion the results show that the design of geometric patterns in Islamic architecture of state mosques in Malaysia can be developed and applied, by this study it can be as a guideline and reference to the public.
