The Islamic Cultural Center was the first Mosque and religious center to be designed specifically for New York City’s growing Muslim community. The design represents the rich and varied Muslim traditions in a 20th century context, and relies largely on the use of geometric principles that formulate the basis of both Islamic and Modern architectural vocabularies.
