Publisher's Synopsis
The Modern Mosques Design monograph is the latest compilation of mosque (masjid) architecture by ATSA Architects in the year 2017. This 418-page monograph is the produce of our arduous efforts since the year 2014 collaborating with various architects to compile the unique design of modern and contemporary mosques from around the world. This monograph is likely the first attempt to collate the intriguing and inspiring architectural designs of mosque architecture, paved to break from the monotonous and the orthodox symbolism of the existing architectural language in mosque building designs. Highlighting over 50 mosque designs located in various Muslim and Western countries, the featured works proffer a new and unconventional approach to mosque architecture, whether have been built or yet to be built. Some featured works were commissioned, while some others were the entries of several design competitions held globally. Each featured work is presented with pictorial and 3D images, along with design statements and drawings supplemented by the respective architects.
