Faith in the City Symposium: DESIGN The Social and Spatial Role of the Mosque in the Urbanised West

Thurs 11 Nov 2.00-6.00pm

PANEL 2: DESIGN The Social and Spatial Role of the Mosque in the Urbanised West

Chaired by Noha Nasser, Acting Director, Urban Renaissance Institute, University of Greenwich

- Alen Jasarevic (Jasaveric Architekten): The Penzberg Islamic Forum (20 mins)

Due to issues beyond our control, Jasarevic participated via pre-recorded video

- Ergün Erkoçu (Concept 0031) and Cihan Bugdaci (Gentlemen A.R.T): The Poldermosque - A Pluricultural Reality (20 mins)


At this time the world is changing and ways of looking at things are established through different perspectives; our focus is on three main elements - pluriculturality, interdisciplinary approaches, and informal vs. formal uses. The pluriform-cultural/pluricultural compilation of the community is no longer deniable and therefore an important factor to take into account when talking about or creating for the community.

Followed by audience questions
