Final design

I’ve made some big changes from my first draft to my final piece, I’ve changed the shape of the building which was inspired by leaf petals and instead incorporated the inspiration from leaf petals to flower petals on the main entrance

Greenery

Long, flat steps, visitors can sit and hang out.

Main entrance

Visitors can enter and exit

For my main buildingI wanted it to be very simple and spacious. This will allow more room for people to come and pray. Before doing my research of mosque interiors I wanted it to be complicated but I changed my mind and agreed a spacious interior would be more useful and right.

I wanted my interior to replicate the exterior so I have agreed on a big haul. From personally experience I have found big hauls to be more calming and freeing, and I want my building to have the same effect.

Prayer mat carpet that’s going to be covering the floor deign both on the men section downstairs and women’s section upstairs

I have decided to make this building because my site is next to the River Themes. I wanted to make sure my buildingwas suited for the area. By making this it will allowvisitors to have a clear view of the Themes, it will attract young kids and adults, it will play out as a calming site. The structure is open and wide so it wouldn’t feel cramped and tight.
