Canberra Islamic Centre

cic- iso-aDesypher presented new proposal of Canberra Islamic Centre in fundraising dinner for Canberra Islamic Society. Our design aim is to pull away the barriers that discourage approach and participation.

We intend that the revised design reflects the magnanimity of CIC as a positive community that is welcoming of all members of the Muslim community, and in a controlled way, invites the wider community to approach, to participate and to interact.

We see the concept proposal as an oasis in a desert, offering hope and renewal that supplements one’s journey. In an oasis, all resources are well managed; efficient water provision, layered tree planting to provide shade and filtering of the wind.  It is a place to where one wants to journey, experience, refresh and enjoy.

It is designed with Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) in mind, encapsulating passive and active features that helps lower its carbon footprint.
