The Iconic Mosque at Dubai Creek Harbour creates a ­dynamic open movement. Originated from the centre of the Creek Tower, the landscape radial lines and Mosque building are integrated in a continuous flow.

The project has a unique identity within a sequential landscape in continuity of the Creek Tower master­plan. The elegant cable geometry stabilising the Creek Tower, guides the verticality towards the sky and delivers a gracious dynamism.

The Mosque is similarly creating a vibrant movement to the horizontal within a gradual terraced landscape as an open public space to contemplate and pray. With a total capacity of 7500 worshippers internally, the Mosque is a urban signal.

It has an accessible roof with a capacity to take 2000 worshippers. The internal space is envisaged as a retreat from the rest of urban city. It is essentially aiming at creating an ­inner shell, one that reflects the journey to the spiritual, oriented to Mecca. The golden sacred shiny dome is forming an intimate deep crystalline inner space for the self exposed to the light of knowledge. The whole project is designed as a sustainability and engi­neering landmark.

The form of the building itself is made of environmental design concept, and aiming that all energy is self sufficient on site, including natural light, ventilation and water cooling. The Mosque is using traditional technics and state of the art engineering, with local resources, effi­cient material, form finding technics to optimise the long span high performance concrete structure.
