A monolithic pink concrete mosque finds its location at the edge of an existing waterbody amidst a fast-growing industrial area at the outskirt of Dhaka City. The mosque is designed as a Permeable Pavilion that establishes deeper connection between water and land which serves as both as spiritual and breathing space within an industrial compound. The owner of the industry wanted to build a mosque for the workers to commemorate the memory of his late mother in the hope of inducing softness within the harsh industrial area. This narrative inspires the architect to design the mosque as a spiritual-social space enhancing mutual care and trust between owner and the workers.
