    Salahuddin Shaikh
    The Da Chang Muslim Cultural Center project in Hebei province was designed to serve as an iconic landmark that introduces the local Dachang culture and religion. The architect drew upon traditional mosque design but interpreted it with new materials and technologies to meet the complex functional needs of the site. The dome structure uses petaloid shells that transform the interior into a semi-exterior garden flooded with nature. The design combines Islamic features with modern construction methods in an elegant, contemplative space for the community.

    Da Chang Muslim Cultural Center / Architectural

    Design & Research Institute of SCUT


    Project Dachang National Palace is no doubt his another masterpiece.
    Located in Dachang Hui Autonomous County, Langfang, Hebei province, the
    project is supposed by the local government to be an iconic design,
    introducing Dachang’s particular culture and enhancing the soft power of the
    city. The national palace is thus endowed with multiple functions, serving not
    only as the recreation center of the city, but the essential cultural site for the
    introduction of local religion and history as well. It has undoubtedly brought
    lots of challenges to the designer, because of the special ethnic composition,
    historical context, religious belief, complex functional requirements of the
    site and the setting of a cultural landmark.

    Based on traditional mosque, the building subtly interprets the spatial


    structure of mosque with new materials and technologies

    The surrounding arches shrink into elegant curves from the bottom up, while
    the cambering petal-shaped arches of the reflection in the water look even
    more vivid and graceful.

    The dome sees the translation and abstraction of Islamic symbols rather than
    simple mimicking. We constitute the dome with petaloid shells and creatively
    transform the interior space into a semi-exterior roof garden flooded with
    sunshine, fresh air and vegetation.
    In the design of the project, Academician He Jingtang has also carried out his
    concept of “2 Views” and “3 Characters”, with the starting point of holistic
    view and sustainable development concept, fully considering regionalism,
    cultural, and epochal character of the architecture, therefore presents us an
    excellent design.

    The built structure combines traditional Islamic architectural features with


    modern construction methods and materials and energy-saving technologies,
    creating an elegant, contemplative space to serve the needs of the
    community.
