The Masdar Zero Energy Mosque is a schematic design proposal that redefines the relationship between spirituality, cultural identity, and environmental responsibility. Situated within Masdar City, Abu Dhabi’s hub for sustainable innovation, the project aims to set a benchmark for zero-energy sacred architecture. ​ The design integrates site-responsive planning, passive cooling techniques, and optimised natural daylighting to minimise reliance on mechanical systems. At the same time, it creates a strong community presence, with gathering spaces and intuitive circulation that promote accessibility and inclusivity. ​ Through its architectural language, the mosque draws inspiration from tradition while responding to contemporary needs. The result is a balance of heritage and innovation, reflecting a commitment to spaces that are both spiritually uplifting and environmentally sustainable.
