Mosques have evolved beyond their traditional role as places of worship and increasingly serve as public buildings that accommodate social, educational, and community activities. This study aims to identify the application of Cultural Inclusivity in mosque architecture through the integration of Inclusive Architecture and Cultural Influence principles. The study employs a literature review and precedent analysis of twenty contemporary mosque projects. The analysis framework consists of six architectural components: exterior space, circulation, entrance, materials and color, accessible information systems, and space planning. The findings indicate that space planning and exterior space are the most consistently applied components, particularly through multipurpose facilities, integrated functional zones, public gathering areas, and spaces that support diverse users. Cultural identity is commonly expressed through local materials, architectural motifs, and symbolic elements. However, accessible information systems, such as multilingual signage, Braille guidance, and digital wayfinding, remain limited across most precedents. The study concludes that cultural inclusive mosques are characterized by their ability to accommodate diverse users, support community activities, and integrate local cultural identity while maintaining their religious function.
