Rapid population growth, globalization, and consumer culture change cities physically and ruin the urban fabric, especially modern buildings. This is the case because there is no sufficient legal regulation for the preservation of modern buildings, which are the architectural heritage of the recent era, and also because the public has little awareness or appreciation of those buildings, hindering their sustainability. The aim of this study was to draw attention to the significance of the preservation of the modern architectural structures of the recent era. To this end, it first provided general information about Republic-era buildings and then addressed mosque architecture by focusing on the Grand National Assembly Mosque as an example. The results suggest that the modern architectural structures of the recent era should be sustained in urban settings not only because they are physical elements but also because they have many characteristics and bear numerous traces and have witnessed historic events. Those buildings should be regarded as the most important means of passing down historic traces and collective memory to future generations, and therefore, their sustainability should be ensured.
