Designed by Glenn Murcutt, the Australian Islamic Centre was a strange building to me. Having seen Murcutts work, I had been accustomed to a more environmental/open approach. This building was quite the opposite. relatively closed off with high concrete barriers on either side, i was taken aback. The building is not, at least to me, the most attractive on the outside, however, it is very pretty on the inside. I do like the rows of trees that are seen in the front and the roof has types of skylights with colors to allow a colorful view when looking up from inside. I think it is for sure one a building that has more to it than meets the eye upon first glance.
