This proposal is standing on the idea of a continuous pathway ‘‘flowing’’ beside the stream producing an organic correlation with it and the overall cultural identity of the bilateral urban fabric where it is gradualy penetrate. The pathway is passing through the existing flora areas or generate new vital pockets of vegetation. It ends up to the area of the mosque where a circular spatial formation of multiple functions is bringing the monument into the focus of the citizens and the visitors. Additional architectural elements and arrangements, such as the bridge and the minor structures around the Mosque, completing and fortifying the proposal, inherit their form mainly from the as-found morfological details of the Mosque and the near by urban building typologies.
