This project took inspiration from the Sufism

understanding of spirituality, its hierarchy of different

levels that makes it both powerful and influential, yet

stressing on the journey that one takes through these

levels to reach the divine. It also search for the

city that is overloaded with sparkly buildings, void, silence

and simplicity become the true monument.
