At Jami Al-Hurriyah Mosque (Masjid of Light), the architect tried to create an architecture that is not bound by time but has a strong environmental pretext by building a dialogue with the sun, the climate, and high intensity of public interaction in this location that appears in the strategy and architectural design elements as our ‘translation’, creating a strategy for a new understanding of a mosque building.

3 Sloping Roofs creating sequences, each roof segment divides the area of the mosque into: a welcoming porch, a terraced worship area, and a main worship area. The sloping roof provides shade and responds to rain and heat. At the tip of each roof there is a ‘skylight’ that establishes a dialogue between worshipers and the time; through which the natural light shows different praying times of the day.

Symbolizing the word ‘Allah’ on the integration of the roof and minaret shapes – The integration of the 3-roof segments and the tower forms a symbol of the word Allah when viewed from the side of the direction of the train terminal.

Thermal Comfort – This mosque is designed without artificial air conditioning by providing optimum cross ventilation, the synthetic wood lattice appears to provide a curtain and control overheat penetration that enables the building to maintain a comfortable thermal comfort.

Stairs, terraces, and courtyards as public spaces – The function of the mosque serves not only for religious purposes but also as a centre for community interaction that is presented through a courtyard without a fence that invites activities from the surrounding community as well as stairs on the perimeter of the building as an element to sit and an accessible public space.
