I am glad to see the transition and acception of modern mosque in today's modern Turkey. I wish Vedat Dalokay's Kocatepe mosque has been built years ago. It would have been the most relevant piece of islamic architecture as he actually built the similar concept in Islammabad. Check this out.

That looks just like a nordic protestant church design... wow.
classic ottoman mosque design was developed after hagia sophia 537 AD.
sorry, that is the date hagia sophia itself was built. turkish mosque design start to evolve around 13th century.
