Uploaded by deutschewelleenglish on Apr 23, 2009
Zeynep Fadillioglu is one of Turkey's best known designers and architects. She has designed the interiors of countless homes and hotels around the globe but her most important assignment was at home in Istanbul where she became the first woman in the Islamic world to design a mosque. Her goal was to create a modern look that would combine with Islamic culture -- and she succeeded. Although her design has been criticized as a high society mosque by some traditionalists,it has been accepted by the wider public.

I like everything about this new mosque except for the dome. I think a different style of dome would have looked better.
