Al-Haram
Mecca, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Human Experience is our journey. For the faithful of the Islamic World this is a lifelong journey. It includes prayerful recognition of the center of Islam, and an actual visit to Mecca during one’s lifetime. In developing our design for Ru’a Al-Haram the physical presence of the Holy Kaaba is our geometric focus. But it is the full Human Experience, along with a thoughtful consideration of the perceptions of the solitary individual, which form our design’s aesthetic, religious and functional foci.
