Gulshan Society Mosque

Gulshan Society Mosque, Mosque in Gulshan, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Gulshan Society Mosque is a seven-story building of white cast concrete on Road 63 in Gulshan 2, Dhaka. Its exterior is wrapped in a screen whose pattern forms an abstract rendering of "La-ilaha-illallah" in Kufic script. Planned for a congregation of 2,500, it places stairs from the entrance directly into the main vestibule and prayer hall, with lifts and stairs serving the upper floors.

The building was completed in 2017 and designed by architect Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury, who introduced a fresh approach to modern Islamic architecture in Bangladesh. This project marked a turning point in how contemporary religious spaces are designed and constructed in the country.

The screen wrapping the building is an abstract rendering of "La-ilaha-illallah" in Kufic script, the Islamic proclamation that there is only one God. The name is also given in Bengali as গুলশান সোসাইটি জামে মসজিদ, and the mosque serves the Gulshan Society in Gulshan 2, on Road 63. In February 2018 the head imam of the Al-Aqsa Mosque led prayers and gave sermons here during a week-long trip through Bangladesh.

The building has multiple entrances, and visitors will find elevators available for easy access to all levels. The exterior screen pattern provides natural ventilation and light while protecting the interior from excessive heat during warm weather.

The screen wrapping the building is an abstract rendering of "La-ilaha-illallah" in Kufic script, so the calligraphy is read as architecture rather than applied decoration. In September 2018 the mosque was shortlisted for the 11th Beazley Designs of the Year, a design award at the Design Museum in London.
