Dubai Oasis Mosque.

The design brings a sense of wonder to its surrounding, inspired by an oasis, the mosque establishes a place where nature, culture and social life come together in a fresh and lively space.

The mosque is "a garden of palm-like columns", that create an intimate yet suggestive experience for the prayers.

 
 
 

In plan, the intersection axis between the linear park and the Mecca, give the orientation for the structural elements. The user is continuously informed by the design, a site specific approach that consider the dualism constituted by Emaar masterplan and the traditional orientation of a mosque. The medium is the message.

 
 

Materials are used to enhance the perception of a mirage. The facade, in thin white marble and reflective golden glass, brings a sense of preciousness and elegance in the exterior while creating an immersive and spiritual atmosphere in the interior.
