Istanbul Mimar Sinan Mosque Iznik Tile Project

Istanbul Mimar Sinan Mosque Iznik Tile Project

The Mimar Sinan Mosque in Atasehir, Istanbul, is a contemporary place of worship whose architectural surfaces have been enriched with Iznik tiles produced by İznik Mavi Çini as part of a project carried out in collaboration with Anikya. The Iznik tile panels located within the mosque interior and throughout Mimar Sinan Park surrounding the complex create a surface language that harmonizes with the spiritual atmosphere of the building through traditional floral motifs and elegant calligraphic compositions.

In the Atasehir Mimar Sinan Mosque project, Iznik tiles were approached not merely as decorative cladding, but as surface elements integrated into the architectural composition and shaping the perception of the space. Within the scope of the application carried out by İznik Mavi Çini in collaboration with Anikya, a composition approach was adopted for the panels located inside the mosque and in Mimar Sinan Park, harmonizing traditional floral patterns with calligraphic inscriptions. This approach creates a calm yet powerful visual rhythm that aligns with the architectural elegance and spiritual atmosphere of the mosque.

One of the prominent details of the project is the specially designed conical top section of the minbar, which was covered with Iznik tiles to complete a cohesive aesthetic language. In this way, the classical motif repertoire and calligraphy were adapted to the spatial needs of a contemporary mosque, transforming them into a surface identity that truly belongs to its setting.

“Positioning Iznik tiles correctly within a mosque interior requires a surface composition that allows both pattern and inscription to be read together with the architecture.”
— İznik Mavi Çini, Senior Architectural Projects Production Facility Manager
