Throughout Islamic culture, architecture cultivates the development of communities in a variety of ways. The prayer hall of the Rüstem Pasha mosque provided a place of worship for the Tahtakale neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey. It incorporated the existing marketplace by being constructed on a raised platform above it, and it leveraged its lucrative property space to become a self-sufficient part of the community. The Grand Bazaar, located in Istanbul, has also significantly contributed towards the building of community through its urban design and planning, and the architecture found in the bedestens and streets. It still holds a very important place in the culture and community of Istanbul to this very day. The al-Attarin Madrasa is expertly integrated into one of the busiest communities in Fez, but the intimate design also serves to instill a sense of community within the students. Built on the site of two prayer halls in the city of Marrakech, Morocco, the Kutubiyya Mosque minaret allows for the call to prayer to initiate congregation of the community to partake in Islamic faith practices. The minaret of the Kutubiyya Mosque serves as an indication of the Islamic faith practices within the Marrakech community, as well as a preservation of the historical Almohad roots. Located in Istanbul, Turkey, the Cemberlitas Hamami is a bathhouse located in Istanbul, Turkey with two seperate sections for men and women, each with separate entrances. The Cemberlitas Hamami’s simultaneous accommodation of both sexes allows the bathhouse, a central social institution in the Islamic world, to serve and connect its community more fully. Although representing various pieces of architectural structures, all cohesively address the importance of architecture to facilitate communal activities and behaviors within Islamic culture.
