CREEK HARBOUR MOSQUE DUBAI, UAE
The mosque is a fusion between a grand mosque
and a district mosque. The four main archways stand
60 meters tall and light falls through its translucent marble facade. The Prayer hall is veiled with brushed
gold aluminum screen. At night these archways
become lanterns of the path which spread across the urban fabric; glow, direct, reveal, and frame the Creek tower, the streets in between and the Downtown.

CREEK TOWER
The site is rectangular as it is supposed to be for a grand mosque, but the qibla is not aligned. A challenge that often comes up in a district mosque. All the while establishing a dialouge with the central axis
