Chapel in "Sea trips" parkgo back to all projects

  • What Muslims say about praying is:

    Praying: Gateway to Heaven,
    Liberation from the Dark Pit of the World
    And we wanted to design the project based on that to demonstrate these concepts.

    In the midst of the city's hustle and bustle, humans cannot focus on the authentic and redemptive messages for long. However, on a holiday in the heart of nature, it is the best time to contemplate inner states and the spiritual aspects of life. People in such conditions feel a greater connection with God and see themselves at the center of creation. They touch the nature that God has created. Therefore, when we pray, we can look around and see God as an observer everywhere...

    In the sound of water, in the rustling of leaves, and in the chirping of birds that also praise God. Prophets always chose solitude for their worship, and the cave was an exceptional place that brought this quality; a space of mystical seclusion. Thus, the idea of the "cave" metaphor has been utilized in the interior space.
