Redefining Religious Spaces - Mosque as a Social Catalyst
The mosque in Baluchistan, Pakistan aims to redefine traditional religious structures by implementing sustainable development goals. The goal is to design a sustainable and communal space that promotes a sense of ownership through place-making strategies. Mosques in Pakistan are now limited to prayer, but in early Islam, they were community centers for social cohesion without discrimination. This project aims to design a sustainable place using a neo-vernacular approach respecting regional materials & construction with an open, nature-connected layout that is inclusive for all ages. The program promotes community programs like community kitchens, bazaars, and safe spaces for play to increase visibility on the street
