6. The National Mosque of Malaysia is a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has a capacity for 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2) of gardens. The original structure was designed by a three-person team from the Public Works Department: UK architect Howard Ashley, and Malaysians Hisham Albakri and Baharuddin Kassim. The engineer in charge of the construction of the mosque, which commenced in 1963 was Antony Morris. The mosque is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations and its key features are a 73-metre-high (240 ft) minaret and a 16-pointed star concrete main roof. The umbrella, synonymous with the tropics, is featured conspicuously – the main roof is reminiscent of an open umbrella, the minaret's cap a folded one. The folded plates of the concrete main roof are a creative solution to achieving the larger spans required in the main gathering hall. Reflecting pools and fountains spread throughout the compound.

About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysias pulsierende Hauptstadt: Die Petronas Towers überragen malaiische, chinesische und indische Viertel und berühmtes Streetfood.

Die Zwillingstürme der Petronas Towers, durch eine Skybridge verbunden, prägen die Skyline, zu ihren Füßen ein gestalteter Park mit Fontänen. Der KL Tower bietet von seinem bewaldeten Hügel eine andere Aussicht, und der Merdeka-Platz, auf dem bei der Unabhängigkeit die Nationalflagge gehisst wurde, wird vom maurisch anmutenden Sultan-Abdul-Samad-Gebäude gerahmt.
