KFUPM Lake Mosque

Nestled around a body of water in the King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran. CRS worked for 25 years on the planning and design of this university, which the mosque serves as an extension to. According to the CRS center, the design was based on the abstraction of local, Arab, architectural motifs and their adaptation to poured concrete as a material used throughout this building. The minerate is centered around a courtyard that leads into the main prayer hall.
