Al Latief Mosque
Al Latief Mosque
Bandung, Indonesia
This is not so much a restoration of a building, as a total remodelling. The height of the
mosque has been raised - from 3.7 metres to 9 metres - to create a more serene ambience
for the prayer hall and better air circulation, while the ‘onion domes’ on the towers have
been replaced with pitched roofs, which are more in keeping with the local architectural
idiom. The local community - including women - has been directly involved in raising
funds for the renovation and in the decision-making process. Work is being carried out in
phases, as funds become available.
