Abstract. The mosque is a public building and one of the architectural forms of Islamic culture. There have been numerous studies discussing mosques, including historical studies, analyses of stylistic forms, thermal comfort, circulation, and other aspects. Due to the multitude of research variations, this article aims to re-explore the foundational knowledge of mosques. It begins by delving into the origins of mosques and their brief history, the initial mosque prototypes, their relationship with the building's components, and the evolution of their architecture in relation to regional contexts. This research falls within the realm of qualitative research, employing data collection techniques from several literature sources. The findings indicate that the history and prototypes of early mosques (influenced by pre-Islamic styles) played a significant role in the overall architectural development of mosques worldwide. However, regional contexts introduce new dimensions to the appearance and impression of mosques. What remains unchangeable is the foundation of Islamic religion, which serves as the primary reference in determining policies related to the architectural development of mosques.

Abstract. The emergence of various mosque designs today enriches the repertoire of Indonesian architecture. This is due to differences in the understanding of the community and precedents related to Islamic architecture. This phenomenon results in differing perceptions of the physical identity of mosques, including those in Banda Aceh.

Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents. The research results indicate that respondents consider domes as the identity of a mosque.

Despite the small percentages, another important finding is that a small number of respondents believe that the use of domes, ornaments, and minarets is not a necessity in mosque design.
