The Grand Mosque of Algiers
by KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten Gmbh as Architects

At present, the world’s third largest mosque is soon to be erected in the bay of Algier. The mosque brings together various cultural and religious facilities. All main buildings in the mosque complex share a plinth that is in places up to 5 m high; on this raised plateau, they are aligned from west to east in the direction of Mecca. Within the complex they form two groups: in the west the place for contemplation, with entrance arcades, cultural center, and minaret, and in the east the place of congregation for up to 35,000 faithful. A spacious park leads from the mosque complex to the buildings in the south, namely the cultural centre, the library and the Imam School.
