WTC MOSQUE

The competition site is located in a high density urban fabric, surrounded by high rise buildings,creating a forest of vertical elements. The plot serves as a breathing space among those buildings. The design decision was to keep the quality of that space by creating an open urban plaza.The physical form, should not have a negative impact on the space within its context. This gathering space should be a place where people interact, talk and play as well as pray. In an attempt to say that praying is part of human activities.How do you translate that into physical form? The approach was to create a number of mounds composed in an organic form, spreading all over the site and the adjacent garden, in contrast to all the surrounding forms existing around it.
