Spatial Zones
The building has 3 distinct spatial zones which are derived from the traditional mosque scheme:
Sahn
- Sahn means courtyard.
- It also acts as a transition space, an extension to the main prayer hall, a gathering space and a space to make connection with the open sky.

Riwaq
- Riwaq is an arcade or portico that opens to one side which is often found surrounding a courtyard in a mosque.
