Islamic Cultural Center of New York, Mosque in Manhattan, USA
The Islamic Cultural Center occupies 48,200 square feet in East Harlem between 96th and 97th Streets, featuring a copper dome and 130-foot minaret.
Inaugurated in 1991 with contributions from 46 Muslim nations, this center marked the first purpose-built mosque in New York City, costing 17 million dollars.
The center functions as a gathering place for diverse Muslim communities, including Turkish, Lebanese, Yemeni, Pakistani, and American individuals seeking religious connection.
The main prayer hall accommodates 1,000 worshippers and orients 29 degrees from Manhattan's street grid to align with Mecca at a heading of 58 degrees.
Natural light enters through geometrically positioned glass insets and clerestory windows, while four intersecting steel trusses support the column-free prayer space.
