Courtyard and the garden

My contribution to the Whittier Mosque project is the courtyard and outside Garden. The courtyard will be elegant with all white and gold.  It will resemble the courtyard at the Sheik Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, which is a masterpiece. The courtyard will not exactly look like the Sheik mosque, but it is just a concept and visual of what we kind of have in mind. The white will go well with the exterior of the mosque and the gold will resemble the decoration of the interior of the mosque. The arches and pillars will be surrounding the courtyard. The courtyard will be located in the center of the mosque according to the blueprint; it could be a passage to the other side or an open place for communities to socialize. 

 ^{The marble are known for
keeping the temperature cool, so it would be good for the southern California
heat. The area-surrounding courtyard with pillar will have shade.}
