Like the building itself very much – clean and simple, but think the pool could have been carried out more nicely. Looks too placed in the landscape – the transition is too rough.

simple, clean colour and think that maybe more quiet environment, while the regular shape brings strong feeling

simple, cumple pero falta aun mayor sensibilidad con un tema que en si, requiere mayor finesa para materializarlo…

Looks like a toilet block painted in white.
Impressive how some architect can fall for this kind of politically correct form.
Make it into a cylinder and you have Tadao Ando’s Unesco meditation room, which is nice, but smells like pee and wet cigarets.
Boring…

As pure as a form could be… and the soul should be… perfect bull’s-eye shot… congrats!

Interesting to find that this countries have good comtemporary architecture,in fact the lack of great means makes them focus on what’s really important…A shame will have to bomb this to the ground when he invade sudan to “stop”darfur’s genocide and take over 7%of chinese oil importations.

Sometimes simple things can have a profound impact.

This project really shows how architecture can ennoble, elevate, and achieve true inclusiveness. It is extremely interesting to me how, in the abstracting of traditional Muslim rite, the building actually follows so closely the canons of Islamic architecture. Here the marriage of form, purpose, and materials is absolutely outstanding.

Compare these two simple boxes sitting in a pool of cleansing water with the vainglorious lunacy of the OMA Prada Pavilion or Zaha Hadid’s egotistical whatnot pavilion for Shanghai. This is purposeful, forceful, and emotive architecture that clearly works.

To me, this is work on the order of Peter Zumthor’s religious architecture, perfectly thought out and adapted to its place and purpose. There is nothing that shines more brightly than humility in front of the world’s great religions, the world’s great problems, and opportunities such as this to use art for noble purposes.

Congratulations and complimenti.

All the elements are there, but, I believe that an outer skin (instead of painted white concrete throughout) of local stones, with just a smooth white interior would lift this project to another level.
