AL-IMRAN MOSQUE
The mosque is the center of Muslim culture; a sacred place where people offer their obligatory fivetimes- a-day prayers. Light allows one to see clearly the truth of the world. The solid wall and mass are to represent the traditional Ethiopian architecture as well as the unique Arabic way of life to achieve monumentality and sacred gist. Consequently opening perforations are designed to mimic nature in its irregularity and randomness, the perforation permit daylight creates a rain of light into the interior space.
