The Abdullatif Al Fozan Award for Mosque Architecture was established in 2011 with the aim of promoting the development of contemporary mosque design. This prestigious award focuses on the architectural, urban, and technical aspects of mosques worldwide, recognizing the efforts of the designers and architects behind these structures. The award highlights the importance of mosque architecture in the twenty-first century, which combines the soul of traditional mosque ideas with contemporary concepts.
