About Essence of Faith Pangunahing Paggamit: Moske

Teksto ng Aklat: Ang Essence of Faith ay isang moske na idinisenyo para sa isang tanawing disyerto sa Taif, Saudi Arabia. Pinagsasama ng disenyo ang minimal na anyo kasama ang tradisyonal na elementong Islamiko. Ang malinis na linya at bukas na espasyo ay lumilikha ng payapang kapaligiran, at ang mga bintana ay inilagay upang dalhin ang natural na liwanag sa loob ng gusali. Ang pangunahing bulwagan ng pagdarasal ay nagtuturo sa mga sumasamba tungo sa qibla, na may hiwalay na pasukan at lugar ng pagdarasal para sa mga lalaki at babae. Ang mga lugar ng ablusyon, isang minarete, isang tirahan ng imam, at isang diwaniya ay sumusuporta sa relihiyoso at pangkomunidad na gamit. Ang pangunahing istruktura ay gawa sa konkreto at ladrilyo, na may mga akabadong stucco, kahoy, salamin, at bato.
