Associates: MASS UnitedSSH International was invited by the Awqaf Public Foundation and their project manager Projacs International to submit a design competition entry for the ‘Al Hadeeth Al Shareef’ Centre in Kuwait, to celebrate the life and characteristics of Prophet Mohammed ( PBUH ) and the importance he had in setting precedence for ideals of everyday Muslim life.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) led an exemplary life of humility, respect and discreet leadership with high levels of innate morality. The building proposed for this competition achieves a humble and exemplary presence in the arid field, allowing for an oasis of congregation to reveal itself from the earth; connected at its roots to its surrounding community. The concept considers the physical and organizational philosophies of the Islamic way of thinking, referencing symbolic numbers to order the museum’s physicality. The proposed concept respects vernacular architecture, while presenting a modern design based on traditional Islamic principles by integrating historical context with hi-tech visual displays.”
