The site’s pronounced slope grants the mosque an elevated position, offering a majestic view of the surrounding main streets. This strategic placement enhances its visibility, establishing a strong presence within the urban landscape.
Throughout history and across cultures, mosques have embodied a geometric and structural harmony, defined by a precise relationship between the prayer hall and the open-air courtyard. Traditionally, the courtyard—an oasis of light and contemplation—precedes the prayer hall, symbolizing hospitality and marking the transition from the secular to the sacred. Drawing from this tradition, our design elevates both the prayer hall and its courtyard to the heart of the building, creating a suspended sacred space that defines and organizes all programmatic functions.
