Šerefudin's White Mosque ((ボスニア語:Šerefudinova Bijela džamija)) is a mosque located in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is of great architectural importance to the town and area. The mosque's architect was Zlatko Ugljen, the craftsman was Ismet Imamović, while the contractor was Zvijezda from Visoko. First construction was completed in 1477, but it was completely reconstructed and finished in 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Visoko )〕 Its most notable award came in 1983, when it was awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aga Khan Award for Architecture: The Second Award Cycle, 1981-1983 )〕 The jury commended the mosque for its boldness, creativity and brilliance, as well as its originality and innovation.〔 In 2007 it received another recognition from Hungarian architects for being one of the three best designed sacral places in Europe. ==Plan, structure and materials== The mosque comprises five functional areas: *Access space and first courtyard *Mosque proper *Annex building *Graveyard *Minarets The central space of the mosque is designed both for praying and other religious activities such as lectures and discussions. The indoor area for praying is an annex building. The annex consists of a small auditorium and an office. Traditionally, in Bosnian mosques, graveyards act as a buffer between mosque and other buildings, but in this case the graveyard is isolated. Architect Zlatko Ugljen used the traditional layout of Bosnian mosques which consist of a courtyard leading to a square praying area, over which rises a cupola. The difference is in an unusual arrangement of this concept, where large glass panels make this mosque even better integrated with the rest of the building. The five roof windows symbolize five core principles of Islam, but also shafts light on key areas of the interior. The southeast facade of the cupola is faced toward the Ka'ba. Fountains, pulpit and other decorative elements are simple, just like the calligraphy in the interior which is simple and readable. Both the interior and exterior of the mosque are painted white, while the beige colour was used for the floor, and green for a few metallic elements, like frames and tubes. Building materials were plastered concrete for walls and cupola, white mortar for the inner walls, a combination of pine wood and white mortar for surfaces of many interior elements, local travertine tiles for exterior paths and courtyard paving, and iron tubes for minarets, while the floors inside the mosque are covered with green carpet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sherefudin's White Mosque )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Šerefudin's White Mosque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
