Playing with Minarets!

What is the main function of a Minaret? 

What does it symbolise? 

With all the technology in hand... Do we still need it today? 

What if the linear structure can be transformed or used in a different way? 

What if architecture played a modular role for design? 

Can we look at minarets differently? or in different settings? 

 

Below are playful prototypes for re-imagining the minarets.... (Or maybe just an attempt to validate procrastination in my research!)
