Ibrahim El-Khalil Mosque was designed and completed in 2015. It opened its doors to the public in 2016. It has a dynamic and ecological structure inspired by organic forms.

It is a volume generated by the movement of the spiral as a reconciler of forms in relation to the trigonal base of the project. It is necessary to access the autonomous world of the work so that forms and colours keep their freedom in relation to the texts while, each, in the place it must occupy.

For the culture of the time, this kind of esoteric knowledge constituted the deepest syncretic blend of Greek philosophy and science, Eastern wisdom of alchemy and mysticism.

The mosque has male entrances to the east at garden level and to the west at ground level on a sloping slope. To the north, a meandering exterior staircase goes up to the prayer hall’s women-only mezzanine and down to the women’s bathing rooms. Esotericism is symbolised by the spiralling spatial structure. The structure is alive, both visually and functionally. Air is drawn in through purifying, humidity-regulating vegetation through garden-level apertures. Natural convection is created throughout the volume due to the circular shape. At night, the scaled dome allows the building to breathe and admits indirect light. Through the Venturi effect, the funnel-shaped minaret sucks heated air out. To the south, there is an imam’s house.
