Abstract Semiotics: Bait Ur Raiyan Mosque - Bait-Ur-Raiyan is a small-scale mosque quietly sitting on a typical rural Bangladesh site near the mighty Arial Kha River. This particular design is an exercise of abstract interpretation of basic Symbolism of Islamic Architecture. Geometry has been the principal tool for this abstraction in terms of transforming both the form and spatial quality. A human-centric approach has been adopted to create a space for community, keeping the scale sacred yet intimate, using local materials like red brick, while lights played the most vital role in uplifting the spiritual entity of the mosque.
