About the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, also known as the Iron Mosque. “Facts about the Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin:
Construction of the mosque took over 5 years, reaching completion in August 2009. 70% of the structure of the mosque is made from steel, with the other 30% made from concrete containing small pieces which gives it a white appearance. The walkway leading up to the mosque features landscaped gardens reminiscent of the Alhambra in Spain and covers an area of 13,639 sqm. The walls of the massive main prayer hall, which can accommodate an estimated 20,000 worshippers, are made from an architectural wire mesh that stops the rain from coming in and deflects light from the sun but allows the movement of air to create a cooling effect within the prayer hall. The mosque uses an innovative district cooling system that involving pumping chilled water around the structure.” (https://malaysialife.org/masjid-tuanku-mizan-zainal-abidin-putrajaya/). This is probably my favourite structure in Malaysia.
