Bait Ur Rouf Mosque

বায়তুর রউফ মসজিদ
Faidabad, Uttara, Dhaka

Architectural Overview

The Bait Ur Rouf Mosque, designed by Marina Tabassum, is a masterpiece of contemporary brick masonry and natural ventilation. Built on an elevated plinth to protect against floodwaters, the prayer hall is lit entirely by dappled natural sunlight filtering through perforated brick screens and ceiling apertures without reliance on artificial illumination.
