Muslim Burial Place

MUSLIM BURIAL PLACE

Pretoria CBD

2006

Landscape and building become one. The earth’s plane lifts up in three parts, reflecting the city grid, while underneath this the qibla gives rise to a grid system. The space leads down into the ground, just as muslims return to the earth with death. Linear atriums point towards mecca. Glass cages start on qibla and end being bent into the city grid.
