The dome-shaped mosque building has thrived in the Islamic world and has become a symbol of expression of the structure and identity of a mosque. However, in the last two decades, many mosques without domes have appeared in Indonesia. Mosques with modern geometric elements are increasingly standing majestically in several areas in Indonesia. Some architects began to eliminate the dome element in the mosque, but still displayed Islamic values. One of the mosques without a dome is the Great Mosque of West Sumatra. The design is a square building that instead of a dome but instead forms a gonjong. The design of the Great Mosque of West Sumatra was criticized by several figures in West Sumatra, who said that the design of the mosque was unusual because it did not have a dome due to some literature stating that one part of the mosque was a 'dome'. news about the existence of a mosque ornament which is claimed to be a form of motif commonly used by Jews (Pentagram). The purpose of the study was to identify the design idea of the Roof of the Great Mosque of West Sumatra which describes the shape of the stretch of cloth used to carry the Hajar Aswad stone, the concept of three symbols: the springs (the elements of nature), the crescent moon and the Gadang House. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results of the study indicate that the value and meaning of the architectural design philosophy of the roof of the Great Mosque of West Sumatra, which is represented by the architect in its design concept, has a lot of compatibility with the mosque building that has been designed. The concept is very clearly visible so that even ordinary people are very easy to understand.
