i am waiting from some people in turkey to take more pictures and interior shots.
among other things, i thought the lighting is really well done. it is really nicely proportioned between the minarettes and the dome(s)
there is also some beautiful screen work.
thanks lb. i will post the pictures when i get them.
I particularly am interested by this point she make regarding her approach to ornamentation and historical influences.
"We wanted people to feel more left alone with God in this place, rather then being distracted by too much ornamentation. I think that makes it more contemporary at the same time"
It is an nice "symbiosis?" between the Islamic and Modern aesthetic.

NPR article comments say that interior shots are not allowed until the official opening, in March. Thanks for adding the photographs, Orhan.
