Built in brick using
traditional methods, this mosque is an attempt to create a language of
architecture that takes essence from the glorious legacy of mosque architecture
in Bengal during the Sultanate period, while maintaining a contemporary
expression
To solve the 13 degree angle
created by the existing site with the Qibla axis, a cylindrical volume was
inserted into the square envelope to facilitate the rotation of the prayer hall
towards Qibla simultaneously formulating light courts on four sides
Qibla direction is marked by a
slit of light penetrating the cylindrical brick wall which forms a light court
with the facing flat wall
Column free prayer hall is
raised on eight peripheral columns, in addition to four light courts, random
circular roof openings allows daylight into the prayer hall creating an ornate
pattern on the floor enhancing spirituality through light
The quality of space and
architecture in this project proves that with the use of local materials and
dedicated craftsmen, and an attempt towards spirituality through light can span
the distance between here and infinity, between today and eternity
Built on the northeast limits
of the city, this terracotta brick building is exquisitely scaled; holding the
corner in what is a fragmented, chaotic urban landscape
How can you go there ?
after passed Uttata just get down Abdullahpur . After that go to the south side river dam . There you take rickshaw and tell him to take you Phayadabada transmitter lane . Here, you ask any person about Bait Ur Rouf Mosque he will show you where it is
