Damascus\u2019. The building site is sloped, bordered by a garden to the south, and surrounded by evergreen trees.<\/p><p>Al-Kawthar Mosque is notable for its modern concept that broke from design conventions for mosques. It was the first mosque that used wide-span concrete frames in the country.<em><strong><sup>02<\/sup><\/strong><\/em> But it was perhaps more groundbreaking for featuring a simple but unique mass and none of the elements typically associated with Islamic architecture.<\/p><p>It featured no arches or domes, as the architect perceived them simply as structural elements used to cover large spans in traditional buildings, and therefore unnecessary in his design due to the use of wide-span concrete frames.\u00a0The design was, therefore, met with initial resistance from the mosque&#8217;s committee.<em><strong><sup>03<\/sup><\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>The unusual shape of the building, which according to the architect was designed to resemble praying hands when viewed from the south,<em><strong><sup>04<\/sup><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0has a rectangular base and a trapezoid-shaped roof sloping towards the north with its southern corners extending outward, reaching 14 meters above ground level at its highest point. The walls of the southern and northern fa\u00e7ades are inclined; the southern fa\u00e7ade is inclined inwards and features a protruding <em>Mihrab,<strong><sup>05<\/sup><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0while the main fa\u00e7ade to the north is inclined backward and preceded by a raised patio leading to the entrance. This patio is also connected by a few steps to a smaller, semi-enclosed patio covered by a canopy and positioned between two cuboids that are attached to the main fa\u00e7ade on either side of the entrance.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mosque is comprised of three floors: a semi-underground floor, a ground floor, and a mezzanine floor. It has two entrances: the main entrance to the north at ground level and a secondary entrance to the west at the lower level, which is supported by a grid of columns. The ground floor is mostly an open space supported by concrete frames, save for a single row of columns that supports the mezzanine overlooking the main praying hall near the entrance. The use of space frames in the interior eliminated the need for structural columns due to their large spans, so unlike in conventional mosques where columns could often block the worshipers\u2019 view of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Khatib<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (preacher), the praying hall in Al-Kawthar Mosque was an open space with no visual obstructions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1aec70f7 elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"1aec70f7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-123b601b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"123b601b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em><strong><sup>01 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omran Kodmani, interview by AMASyria, Damascus, February 14, 2021.<\/span><\/p><p><em><strong><sup>02 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kodmani, interview.<\/span><\/p><p><em><strong><sup>03 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kodmani, interview.<\/span><\/p><p><em><strong><sup>04 <\/sup><\/strong><\/em>[Bassel Kodmani, \u201cAs for the idea of the project or the concept as some would like to name it&#8230; I asked my Father, may God rest his soul, why he chose this form.

According to the architect, the design of the northern and southern walls enhanced the structural performance of the building, reducing the required metal reinforcement.
