Mosque - New Cairo, Egypt
During my consulting work for ACE, I had the honor of designing a mosque situated in the vibrant community of Sodic East, New Cairo, Egypt. This project presented a unique opportunity to create a sacred space that would serve as a spiritual anchor for residents and visitors alike, while also embodying the values of inclusivity, community, and architectural excellence. From the outset, our design approach was guided by a deep respect for Islamic architectural traditions and a commitment to innovation and sustainability. Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of mosque design, we sought to create a contemporary interpretation that would seamlessly integrate with the modern landscape of Sodic East while honoring the timeless principles of Islamic architecture.

The mosque's exterior was characterized by clean lines, geometric patterns, and elegant proportions, paying homage to the Islamic architectural tradition of symmetry and balance. A striking minaret rose gracefully from the center of the structure, serving as a beacon of faith and a symbol of community unity. Inside, the mosque was designed to evoke a sense of serenity and reverence, with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a layout that encouraged contemplation and spiritual reflection. The prayer hall, adorned with intricate calligraphy and decorative motifs, provided a tranquil sanctuary for worshipers to commune with the divine. In addition to its spiritual function, the mosque was conceived as a community hub, offering spaces for education, social gatherings, and cultural events. A dedicated courtyard provided a peaceful outdoor setting for congregants to gather before and after prayers, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among residents of Sodic East.

Sustainability was also a key consideration in the mosque's design, with features such as energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fixtures, and passive cooling strategies incorporated to minimize environmental impact and promote responsible stewardship of resources. In summary, the mosque in Sodic East, New Cairo, Egypt, was not only a place of worship but also a symbol of community pride, architectural excellence, and spiritual enlightenment. Through careful consideration of tradition, innovation, and sustainability, we created a space that would serve as a beacon of faith and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
