Masjid of Ras Hilal Fishing port, Libya - 2009
The concept of the “Generic Masjid” investigates the representation of contemporary Islamic practice. The main conceptual idea of this Masjid is the existing of ALLAH الله word in all facades by the openings. It explores the idea of a Masjid as a multifunctional space, through so-called Generative Design Principles, a set of conceptual design guidelines that Dr. Wael derived from his study of Islamic architectural history. These design principles enable Dr. Wael to develop a stylistic and conceptual continuity with the past, while allowing them to execute spatial transformations in response to the social, political, economic, and technological changes that take place over time.
