Mosque
Religious and community center- Mosque. The conceptual solution comes from the premise that the building shall not only accommodate religious activity but also education and community events. For this reason, the concept includes space for prayers and space for a library, classrooms, and study rooms.
From the architectural perspective, the Mosque is designed using traditional elements, such as the central dome. The dome is added to three wings that are connected. with the central space. The central rooftop space is supported by an extraordinary structure resembling the tree of life. These elements neighbor with the glass sections which allows the pleasant atmosphere in the object due to the shadows and sunlight.
