Sketch design for the new Cambridge Mosque 2008

I’ve been asked to put up on this blog the design I made for the new Cambridge Mosque back in 2008 — and here’s an elevation of it to be going on with. The brief was for a space for 1000 worshippers, 80 cars and in an Anglo-Ottoman style — and to be costed. I had three weeks to do it. I’m not sure which bit was Anglo but I believe there was a Paxton style iron and glass atrium somewhere. It was many years ago.

The project was to raise funds to enable the purchase of land in central Cambridge where the mosque was eventually built. I will add more drawings of the project soon.

I’ve also prepared a long critique of the new Marks Bardfield Cambridge mosque as it was finally constructed. That will also be posted in the near future.

    Hola Jamaaluddin. You need a transliterated font. I design books and adapt text to already transliterated text but in a selected typeface. An Arabist translator/writer would decide on the specific transliterations of Arabic words.
