Description
The Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque is the prominent landmark in the new seat of government. Built right next to the Millennium Monument at Putra Lake, the sacred building known colloquially as the Iron Mosque proclaims the presence and strength of Islam. The unique cooling system, which rendered air-conditioning and fans superfluous thanks to GKD's Escale stainless steel mesh, lends the building its special atmospheric quality. What's more, the semi-transparent spiral mesh provides worshippers with reliable protection from the sun and rain.
