RE: Mosque Architecture - UAE's bid to merge Islamic Architecture with Modern Architecture.

in Architecture+Design4 years ago

No doubt about it, the United Arab Emirates is a nation with so much to offer! Her architectural landscape alone is a magnificent experience to behold! Because I've also previously lived there for many years, I can bear witness to the tremendous amount of innovative buildings that took my breath away! The distinctive designs of the mosques, with their creative mix of modern and traditional Islamic architectural styles, are unique - never before seen in other parts of the world.

Greetings @blind-spot, and welcome to the Architecture+Design Community! We enjoyed your first post so, feel free to publish more awesome architecture and design content here!

I think they have raised the bar for contemporary architecture, too. So much opportunity - that is the secret. I feel like almost all creative ideas get a chance to shine in the UAE. Most of these Islamic crafts aren't done by Muslims, either. That just goes to show how much diversity and opportunity can do.
