Glenn Murcutt: Australian Islamic Centre

Australian Islamic Centre in Melbourne

Australian Architect Glenn Murcutt with the help of architect Hakan Elevi, worked on designing this Islamic Centre in Melbourne for close to 10 years. Completed in 2016, this Islamic center was designed for the growing Islamic population in Melbourne, providing a mosque and community center. The center itself is designed to show off the lantern lights on the ceiling and its interior’s unique design. Coming off of Glenn Murcutts Pritzer Prize win, this was his next major project worked on. His early sketches of the mosque are something of an art in it itself as well.
