Bait Ur Raiyan is a small scale mosque quietly sitting on a typical rural land of Bangladesh. The design was an exercise of abstract interpretation of basic symbolism in Islamic Architecture, with geometry being the principal tool. This concept of “Abstract Semiotics” was applied in measurable mass and space, and other immeasurable aspects with a deeper perceptual level. A human centric approach created a space for community keeping the scale sacred yet intimate, using local materials like red bricks, while lights played the most vital role to uplift the spiritual entity of this mosque.
