A Place of Prayer

Prayer is an act of surrender, so the space needed to capture the idea of the sublime. Then came the idea of the solitary act of meditation which needs a room when the prayer becomes a practice that extends beyond the day and thus came the prayer cells.The design was achieved through understanding of elements and their relationships by reading buildings and books. The form of the prayer hall was a manifestation of the desires of the act of prayer- of the earth, reaching for the sky.
