Minaretein Center, Qatar

Distinctive and designed in a way that connects heritage with modernity and originality, the Education City Mosque, designed by Mr Ali Mangera is one of the landmark buildings of Qatar Foundation, and of Doha. It is a special place as well as a spiritual one. Sweeping across the ground and reaching into the sky, retaining a sense of spirituality while wanting to embrace new ideas. One of the most striking elements of the mosque is the calligraphy, which is the work of Mr. Taha al-Hiti, an Iraqi architect and calligrapher based in London.
