PenguinCube_Al-Warqa-Friday-Mosque_2

A revisit of traditional Arabesque elements and notions. We designed a pattern that also has 3 levels of depth that represent an abstraction of the three basic stances of the praying ritual.

This mosque has a distinctive architectural design language that has a fluid interplay between the building mass and elements of nature; such as wind, sound, light, and landscape.

A pattern embedded into the architecture
