Strasbourg Mosque (Grande Mosquée de Strasbourg)

Information

The designer
said “The location is splendid There’s a canal, a river and trees. Inserting
the building into this plot is fascinating. And of course, water is so
symbolic. In my design I tried to filter the past to the present, so that it is
respected and is an element of
identity.”

Thoughtful nods
to the local architecture are found in the copper used on the dome, echoing
copper-clad structures in the old city, and the material used for the walls,
the beautiful regional stone 
(grès des vosges). The interior has a soft, diffused
light, coming from windows hidden behind intricate calligraphy.
