The spiral layout of the scheme places the large volume of the mosque at one end with two 90m high minarets at the other end. The area in between is occupied by the students’ area and library to the west, and the faculty area close to the mosque. The building is located on a corner plot and minarets and mosque staircase beckon visitors from the campus through the four parts Islamic Garden. The fluid landscape merges with indoor space. Outdoor planting includes olive trees as a symbol of peace and healing Qur’anic plants placed in courtyards.
