APPROACH

The Prayer Space in Kazan: A New Typology for Spiritual and Spatial Freedom

GAD’s architectural practice has continuously focused on exploring new avenues of thought in the design of structure and form but also importantly typology. These experiments in building typology have been realized often in cultural zones of the East where a more fluid, flexible idea of modernity has been ascendant. Importantly these territories instead of adopting Western forms of modernism have sought to create their own relation to the project of modernism. This new relation to modernism has been a recurrent theme in many GAD projects located in Turkiye and the Eurasian region.
