Abstract
Al Farooq Masjid of Atlanta is the largest mosque in the Southeast and was designed with traditional Muslim and interfaith concerns in mind. All mosques must face Mecca, the Saudi Arabian city where Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born in A.D. 570. Making this work within the limitations of a modern city required orienting the mosque’s prayer hall towards the northeast while the rest of the building sits squarely on the mid-town Atlanta block.
