Architecture Inspiration and Vision

Architecture of Islamic Centers including mosques and Schools, over the ages has standardized and represented by Minarets and Domes. However, Islamic architecture has also inherited and molded to local architecture and needs. A wide variety of such examples are available including example below.

Mosque in Africa

Nieuji Mosque, China

The Muslim population in United States and specifically in Plano, TX; comprises of immigrants from a large number of countries as well as a large number of locally born and raised Muslim children. Thus the population represents a large variety of ancestry some of whom believe in traditional architecture of the mosque, while other like very modern and practical building and yet there a consensus that the design should be expressive and understandable to all. It should employ a form language which invokes in immigrant Muslims a sense of belonging in their present and hope in their future. To the indigenous Muslims it should represent a linkage with Muslims from other parts of the world and should underscore the universality and unity of Islam. To the new Muslim this architecture should invoke confidence in their new belief. To non-Muslims it should take the form of clearly identifiable buildings which are inviting and open, or at least not secretive, closed or forbidding.
