The Faisal Mosque, considered by many critics to be the most successful modern mosque found in Islamic countries, had never been the subject of a rigorous monograph. This dissertation seeks to fill this gap. The mosque is unique in its structural design and surface decorations. The dissertation gives a comprehensive study of the structural forms and the decorative elements. The material is presented in the order of a walking tour of the mosque. In first chapter external features of the mosque and its setting against the Margala Hills are discussed. It is all about Imposing View having a doomless structure and architectural decoration of the Mosque.
