Designed by Editorial, Masjid al-Haram Mosque is located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most ancient and religious places in the world and the holiest city in Islam so it’s no surprise that the architects rumoured to be ‘redesigning’ the sacred ground are remaining shy about confirming their involvement. But shy is not a word commonly associated with Zaha Hadid, or Lord Norman Foster. Neither confirming nor denying their involvement, both firms’ press offices have ‘no comment’ on the development which, according to news sources around the world, would triple the capacity of the Masjid al-Haram Mosque (Holy Harram), which accommodates nearly 3 million pilgrims during the annual hajj pilgrimage.
