The Cambridge Central Mosque as a combination of

There are an estimated 1,500 mosques in Britain; many having been built in recent years. The style and architecture of mosques are vital components of the new public face of Islam in the UK. Recent years have seen the entry of British architects into mosque design; a phase which would see a shift away from nostalgia for places of ethnic origin that arose from around the Muslim world to innovative design concepts that were more adventurous in scope.

The aim of this research is to gain an understanding of the new Cambridge Central Mosque, as a case study because it uniquely brings together Islamic sacred traditions with British architecture, using the very latest technologies for the 21st century. The research focuses mainly on architectural forms and design elements, as well as objects used in and around the new Cambridge mosque.  In addition to this paper, a documentary film has been produced to document this.
