Beautiful Islamic Design at Park51

Park51 Community Center

My Review 

The Arab countries in the Middle East are forerunners in new architectural designs. Abu Dabai and Dubai in the UAE and Doha in Qatar are among the Arab countries creating buildings both energy efficient and beautiful in their differing lattice-work designs. The new Maydan racetrack in Dubai is pure genius of design and functionality.

In viewing the building concept, you must keep in mind that Islam does not allow images of Mohammend, God, or other Holy martyrs. Muslims developed their beautiful mosques using mosiac tile designs and scroll work. A few prayer passages may be used. This building is simply beautiful inside and outside. The lattice walls not only represent Islam beautifully but are naturally energy efficient. Comparing the architectural drawings of the Muslimic Center to the building on its right, you would think that New Yorkers would be proud of such a building.

Would you recommend this to a friend?
