As the worship increases the human spirit, the structure rises from the lowest to the minaret by the entrance. The architecture of the mosque was created by increasing the scale of the mass starting from the human scale according to the geometry of the prayer order.
Ablution is taken before prayer in Islam. Before entering the rising rectangular frame spaces where the entrances are provided to the courtyard are entered through the ornamental pool. Each gigantic frame has an area of ablution.
When entering the courtyard, the beams that cross the courtyard are encountered. The triangular opening takes the light indirectly through these beams. Different times of the day will have different shadows.
