I'm not so sure, I don't like decorations, I think there's too much of that and there seems to be a lot of ecco. It would be nice of it didn't have so much hard surfaces and the walls were designed to absorb sound and not reflect it so much.

I live in UK, and we have very simple mosque designs, They're very white with very minimal of caligraphy.

I'm guessing in different in Turkey.
