Spatial Decentralization of Mosque at Pondok Pesantren Modern Islam Assalaam

In the concept of Islamic architecture, the mosque as the center of the area is reflected in the layout patterns of ancient Islamic cities, including Islamic boarding schools. However, the layout pattern of the Islamic education area at Pondok Pesantren Modern Islam Assalaam presents a hall as the center of the area. The purpose of this study is to enrich the theory of functional transformation in the pattern of Islamic educational regional arrangements through a case study. This study analyzes the adaptation of the layout pattern of Pondok Pesantren Modern Islam Assalaam within the framework of Islamic architecture. The research results show a functional transformation, with the hall taking on a new role as the center of the area. The findings of this study indicate a shift in the mosque's meaning and values, from a center of worship and social activity to a symbol of regional identity. The novelty of this study lies in its examination of the pattern of mosque decentralization in the modern pesantren sector from an Islamic architectural perspective. The benefit of this study is a rethinking of the mosque's meaning and function by modern pesantren managers in the development of an inclusive Islamic area.
