Architectural Design Requirements
• A central part of the brief is that the architectural qualities of the space formed by the Multi-Faith Centre must inspire a sense of the transcendence-– Such language ought to be derived from
qualities of established spiritual spaces
• The following three panels are stimulus that ought to be followed when creating place in the Multi-Faith Centre
