Bait-Ur-Raiyan is a small scale mosque quietly sitting on a typical rural Bangladesh site near the mighty Padma River. This particular design is an exercise of abstract interpretation of basic Symbolism of Islamic Architecture. Geometry has been the principle tool for this abstraction in terms of transforming both the form and spatial quality. A human centric approach has been adopted to create a space for community keeping the scale sacred yet intimate, using the local materials like red brick, while lights played the most vital role to uplift the spiritual entity of the mosque.
