The effect of racial unconscious schema of mosque architecture on the sense of spiritual place of cities

Religious spaces have always had spiritual experiences in the form of the quality of the sense of place. Because the tendency to innovate in the design of spiritual spaces, especially mosques, has increased. On the other hand, the researches show the process of reducing the sense of place in these spaces. To provide a new look at how these spaces are designed and their impact on the sense of spiritual place of the urban landscape, this article deals with the relationship between spiritual and physical schemas formed in races, in the subconscious layer, and creating a sense of place in mosque architecture. The research method is qualitative-analytical and the method of collecting documentary materials is to study the effect of unconscious racial schemas in creating a sense of spiritual place of mosques and consequently in Islamic cities. Given that innovation in architectural design begins with the body and that subconscious body schemas can be effective in directing how the sense of place is formed. Attention to archetypes in design will have a great impact on creating a sense of urban landscape and constructive interaction with spiritual environments, especially mosques that can cause spiritual experience.
