A A mosque is a building with defined boundaries that is specifically constructed for worship activities dedicated to allah, such as prayer, remembrance (dzikir), qur’an recitation, and other religious rituals. one of the main objectives of central java province is to “create a religious, tolerant, and united society in central java in order to preserve the integrity of the unitary state of the republic of indonesia.” magelang, as part of a national tourism strategic area (kspn), currently lacks adequate mosque facilities, resulting in a significant need for a place of worship and an islamic study center. furthermore, the idea of providing non-worship facilities (social facilities) emerged from magelang’s religious scholars, who recognized that the existing spaces for religious activities and islamic studies were insufficient to improve social welfare and public order through religious outreach (dakwah). the proposed grand mosque will not only serve as a new landmark for magelang but also function as the primary place of worship for islamic activities for tourists and local residents around the borobudur national tourism strategic area (kspn), as the existing mosques in the area have primarily been able to accommodate the worship needs of local communities.borobudur temple is a buddhist world cultural heritage site and one of indonesia’s cultural landmarks, located in borobudur village, borobudur district, magelang regency, central java. the borobudur area has been designated as an area for supporting conservation and development efforts as a national cultural heritage area and a world heritage site. therefore, the realization, integration, connectivity, and balanced development among regions are required, along with harmony between various sectors within the borobudur area. consequently, a contextual architecture approach is considered an appropriate choice for the design of the central java grand mosque, as it supports the principles of integration, connectivity, balance, and architectural harmony that respond to the surrounding context. this approach is intended to represent the character of the mosque’s location in accordance with islamic values while responding to the rich and well-preserved potential and identity of the national tourism strategic area (kspn) and its ongoing development.
