Abstract

There are two main approaches to understanding Islamic Design and Architecture. First, an approach that emphasizes the object as a product of thought. Second, the approach by looking at Islamic ideas, values, and principles through religious sources and not speaking within the framework of objects. In the second approach, the values and principles of Islam expressed through the composition of forms and spaces in buildings. This study aims to find patterns and variations in the implementation of Islamic values and principles in the exterior and interior of buildings, especially mosque building. Case studies are several Wali mosques in Indonesia. Data obtained from physical observations, interviews, and visual documentation. The analysis conducted with an interpretive method that describes the physical characteristics and meanings of some study objects in-depth. This paper can conclude that Islamic expressions those related to the value of transcendence or the remembrance of monotheism can be found in Wali mosque and mausoleum. The results of this study are expected to be used as input for further studies on the search for 'forms' in Islamic design and architecture, especially the form of mosques in Indonesia.
