Modern Mosque With No Minaret Or Dome Angers Religious Hardliners

Designed by Iranian architects Reza Daneshmir and Catherine Spiridonoff, co-founders of Fluid Motion Architects, the architects were commissioned to design a new mosque in 2008 sitting next to Tehran's City Theater, which was built before the 1979 revolution. The theater draws a distinctive architectural language with its tiled circular structure surrounded by external pillars.
