架构师提供的文本描述。阿卜杜拉国王石油研究中心(KAPSARC)社区的精神中心是位于该遗址中心的线形公园内的一座清真寺。在整个社区中，人们都能看到这座清真寺，人们通过与伊斯兰教最神圣的地方麦加(Mecca)和Al Kaaba结盟的室外庭院进入圣殿。

Text description provided by the architects. The spiritual center of the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) community is a mosque within the linear park at the heart of the site.  Highly visible throughout the community, the sanctuary is approached through outdoor courtyards aligned with Mecca and Al Kaaba, the most sacred places in Islam.

祈祷大厅设置在一个反射池内，并从高架玻璃桥到达入口。这一行列代表了离开世俗世界进入神圣领域的过渡。反射池在夜间发光，使人产生整个建筑物漂浮在水面上的错觉。在祈祷大厅的两边，弯曲的墙壁屏蔽支持功能，包括沐浴空间和伊玛目的办公室。

The prayer hall is set within a reflecting pool and reached from elevated glass bridges leading to its entrances. This procession represents the transition of leaving the profane world to enter the sacred realm. The reflecting pool glows at night, giving the illusion that the entire building is floating over water. To either side of the prayer hall, curving walls screen supporting functions, including ablution spaces and imam’s office.

 Floor Plan

主祈祷大厅被设计成一个75平方英尺的立方体，表面是动态的，分层的。最外层的玻璃与内层的石材混凝土相隔三英尺。这座115英尺高的尖塔被设计成与清真寺类似的石板和窗户图案。

The main prayer hall is designed as a 75-foot-square cube sheathed in a dynamic, layered skin. The outermost layer of glass is separated from an inner layer of stone-clad concrete by three feet. The 115-foot-tall minaret is designed to complement the mosque in its similar patterns of stone cladding and windows.

这两种结构的外观设计用来代表传统阿拉伯模式的抽象版本，并创造出一种不断变化的光影体验。白天，玻璃上复杂的多个图案的阴影在内部的石面上穿行。在一天的时间里，类似的光和影的反差使清真寺内部充满活力。

The exteriors of both structures are designed to represent an abstracted version of a traditional Arabic pattern and create an ever-changing experience of light and shadow. During the day, the play of shadows from the complex mullion patterns on the glass travel over the inner stone façade. Similar contrasts of light and shade animate the mosque interior over the course of a day.

晚上，玻璃盒子变成了风景中的灯笼，点亮着灯光。定制的方形吊坠呈格子状，由电缆悬挂在室内。

At night, the glass box becomes a lantern in the landscape, punctuated with points of light.  Custom, square pendants arranged in a grid pattern and suspended by cables illuminate the interior.

主祈祷厅可容纳200名男子，而阁楼一级可容纳100名妇女。它的墙壁和天花板是一个现代的解释阿拉伯屏幕墙(Mashrabiya)与自然光从窗户和天窗，以照亮现代空间。重叠的形状使墙壁充满活力，而天花板则呈现出一种更传统的设计。

The main prayer hall accommodates 200 men, while a mezzanine level accommodates 100 women. Wrapping its walls and ceiling is a modern interpretation of an Arabic screen wall (mashrabiya) that glows with natural light from windows and skylights to brighten the modern space. Overlapping shapes enliven the walls, while the ceiling presents a more traditional design.
