The existence of a sign on the building is very important because it communicates the message of the building to the observer and user. With the sign, a building can be known as its functions. Not only the sign, but the form of the building also shows the function in it. Therefore, a sacred building like a mosque should also need sacred signs and forms. This study aimed to explore sacred signs and forms of modern mosques. This study used Peirce’s Semiotics approach and concept of form-function-meaning relation. The results of this study indicate that some modern mosques have strong sacred signs and form, and some are not. The results of this study can be the beginning of further studies (development studies) and a reference source for studies of sacred signs and the form of the other sacred buildings.
