Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan (The Federal Territory Mosque)

This guide to the Federal Territory Mosque in Kuala Lumpur traces a design choice: echoing Istanbul's Blue Mosque four centuries later, with twenty-two cascading domes and twin minarets built between 1998 and 2000. It follows how Ottoman grandeur was folded into a Malay sensibility, down to the hand-carved wooden doors and their geometric patterns. The government had already built forty-three mosques within the city before this one went up beside its moat.
