ABLUTION

Spiritual Cleansing

Rainwater collection

‘Rain’ will cascade down these curved walls creating a steady flow of water for wudu and disappearing through porous stones. When it is raining the actual rain will be used but when it’s dry, water will be pumped out at the top as if it were rain.

The used water will run through a purification system where it can be reused again. Water collected outside of prayer times will be used for the other facilities on site as well as being shared with the neighbouring proposals.

Journey Of Reverence

THROUGH THE MOSQUE Reverence in Islam

The journey to the prayer hall takes the congregant through a strictly defined path recessed into the ground, giving a feeling of gradual separation from the outside world.

Reverence in Islam is a level of deep connection/relationship with god and oneself that is reached after going through a journey resulting in full trust in god and full trust that everything will be better.
