Floating mosque

This thesis aims to apply an abstract method of design concerned with the integration of Islamic texts and building. This method was applied to a mosque floating on the water in the city of Jeddah, where the spaces were formed in a manner that was inspired by Islamic religious texts. The result is a sacred experience that can be felt through the evocation of texts within the architectural space.
