Produktbeschreibung
Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, Cambridge Central Mosque is an innovative building, which is both sustainable and socially and architecturally integrated into its neighbourhood. Illustrated with architectural drawings and photography by Sir Cam, Morley von Sternberg and others, this book details its evolution and realisation, highlighting how the mosque breaks new ground, and reflects ongoing debates about Islam and Britishness. It discusses how geometry is a central feature, and focuses on its timber structure or ' trees', as well as on the many sustainable features of the building and its carbon neutrality. The mosque has become a unique place of community worship, and the book concludes by providing a sense of the day-to-day life of the mosque, as well as the lessons which can be learnt from it.
