ALAHMAD CONGREGATIONAL MOSQUE The design of Al-Ahmad Mosque is aiming to create a spiritual journey that takes worshipers to a serene atmosphere that wraps worshipers into a devotional experience by implementing the concept of heaven on earth. Over the highway in an area of 780sqm stands Al-Ahmad Mosque; the layout of the mosque was generated by a golden ratio due to its natural existence in nature. The design focused on creating a sustainable mosque that can be self-operated by using both passive and active techniques, as well as respecting the context of highways. The mosque is a proposal of a prototype as a competition entry to design a new prototype mosque for highways around the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

WORLD TRADE CENTER MOSQUE The design of the mosque is inspired by the moment of revelation of Quran, the book that enlightened the paths of the followers and illuminated their souls. The design concept creates a spiritual journey that takes the worshipers from their chaotic daily life to a serene atmosphere that wraps the worshipers into an experience of attaching the earth to the sky. Inspired by Jabal Al Noor, the mountain that contains the cave where the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed PBUH, the mosque obtains the contrast between the monolithic and totemic presence and the spiritual illumination.
