Abstract

The paper focuses upon problems and distinctive characteristics of the development of contemporary mosque architecture in the world from the 1950s. Specific political, cultural and economic circumstances at the end of the 19th and the beginning
of the 20th century gave birth to different views on stylistic expressions of newly built mosques. A critical analysis of characteristic contemporary buildings suggests the existence of four main stylistic expressions between two extreme views, traditional and modern. Vernacular architecture -historicisms -regionalism as a modern approach to creation - modern expression.
