Preliminary project for the restoration of the Mosque within the former Royal Palace gardens, now Museum of Libya.
The little Mosque stands near the old King’s Palace (now Museum of Libya), in South-West direction, and it is well integrated in the gardens vegetation.
The project proposed aims to enhance the Mosque, in light of the new scene that is contemplated for the whole complex of the Palace, giving the prestige that a building of worship must have.
The intention is to build a "little gem" in the Palace gardens, interpreting Libyan architectural tradition of worship buildings in a modern vision. Particular attention has been given to the choice of materials, as marble, gold mosaic, wood, hand painted ceramics, refined fabrics in wool and silk in the praying area, marble friezes, which evoke Libya’s oldest decorative elements and Islamic culture in general.
