- Title
EL WAKIL ASSOCIATES: The Island Mosque, Corniche, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 1983-4.
- Abstract
The article describes the architectural design made by the firm El Wakil Associates for The Island Mosque, Corniche, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The design concept is based on the prototype of forms. The principle of “squaring the circle” represents the relationship of the dome to the prayer hall. The sphere is a symbol for the heavenly and the cube represents the earthbound. The vertical shows man’s aspirations, while the horizontal indicates the concrete world of action.
