Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, Putrajaya








The mosque was designed based on the 3 concept, wind, simple and transparent. Approximately 6,000 tons of steel used for construction, which represents about 70% while the rest is concrete. The Steel mosque has its own privileges because there is no fans or air-conditioning equipment in it. It uses the refrigerant gas (gas district cooling or GDC). In addition, the mosque also uses Architectual Wire Mesh or Anyaman Masyrabiah imported from Germany and China (also installed in the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid and the French national library, known Bibliothèque nationale de France located in Paris). The main gate used glass reinforce concrete (GRC) to enhance the integrity of a glass and crystal structure and to make the mosque looked white from a distance.
