βYou place Godβs creation at the center. The garden. The sky. The light. You orbit around what gives life - not what consumes it.β
- Abdul Wahid El Wakil
El Wakil's architecture aimed to redefine modernity within an Islamic worldviewΨ not trying to simply build "Islamic looking" structures. Through his work, he developed a style of architecture that aimed to cultivate communities rather than isolate individuals.
