'Mosque of Light' secures planning consent

Glasgow’s oldest mosque is set to shine anew after a major refurbishment was given the green light by Glasgow City Council.

Inkdesign are the architects behind  ‘Masjid Noor Mosque’, otherwise known as the ‘Mosque of Light’, which will receive a 1309m² extension providing a new entrance and prayer hall. A private garden courtyard space will be created. 
 
Project architect Maurice Hickey, said: "The client recognised that there was a need for the current mosque to be upgraded and provide additional facilities to serve the community. We translated this into a contemporary design that creates a strong vision for a mosque in the 21st Century.”
 
The design concept focuses on flooding light into the building - by day natural light will reflect onto the external structure, with the Prayer Hall set to also glow at night when the impressive ‘golden box’ design is iluminatedd.

Nice, the design looks good.

Off topic but the terrible event in New Zealand displays that in The West we need to show that we value the many great people of the Islamic faith, who do a lot of good our societies.

Antagonizing and alienating people only makes matters worse.

THEY CLOSE ARR CHURCHES AND ARR TAX DOLLURS FUND THIS.

The comments on Facebook last night were upsetting.

Nice project though.
