Geometri Sakral terhadap Masjid Menara Kudus : Analisis Matematis atas Simbol-Simbol Kosmologis

Abstract

The sacred tower mosque becomes a form of mathematical analysis and cosmological symbols in geometry learning to examine further the discussion of sacred geometry in the shape of the mosque. The purpose of preparing this article was to look for elements of sacred geometry and the meaning of cosmologos symbols in the Kudus Tower Mosque building located in Central Java. The method used in preparing this article is through a data collection process carried out by observing, concluding and reading from several sources such as websites, journals and previous articles. The process carried out was to identify the geometric elements in the holy tower mosque building that we found in several reading sources. The observation results show that there are elements of flat plane geometry and space plane geometry in the mosque building. The geometric elements identified are square, rectangle, rhombus, circle, triangle, cube, cuboid, cylinder, prism, and pyramid. So that in learning geometry you can use the context of the Holy Tower Mosque. In general, the architectural structure of the holy tower mosque does not show uniformity. Locality or regional and pre-Islamic values have influenced several old mosque architectures in Indonesia. Nowadays, the architecture of the Kudus Tower Mosque is more developed with more modern and unique design patterns. We found from several journals and our reading sources information about the Kudus Minaret Mosque. It is hoped that the results of this observation will provide benefits for contextual learning and be used as an example of the use of mathematical concepts around us.
