It is a mosque by the waterside resting on top of a [sloped foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganga-leheri-temple) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The mosque is named after the land owner's late mother and it is made to be a spiritual sanctuary and community space for workers in the area. The design process uses a 'dig and mound' approach where it elevated high plinths to manage overflow during monsoon rains. Studio Morphogenesis partner Saiqa Iqbal Meghna spoke to [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bab-al-salam-mosque) about the design project, stating "We wanted to frame the view towards the water. This creates a sense of calmness for the devotees as they enter the space from a busy industrial surrounding to a serene atmosphere merged with the body of water."
