Il progetto per la Moschea di Sokhna vuole rappresentare il tema del “Chiasma”, ovvero la connessione e dialogo fra orizzonti diversi. Il tema della luce viene messo in forma e materia dall’invenzione di una tipologia di dieci declinazioni dimensionali di lucernari in cemento prefabbricato, che, appoggiati alla semplice struttura in c.a., creano la poetica del colore attraverso la tradizione, che è trasversale rispetto alle religioni, delle vetrate policrome. I lucernari, all’esterno sono come una orografia di montagne prima sconosciute e ora amate. Inventando un Linguaggio Genealogico Contemporaneo per un Luogo Genealogico senza Tempo.

Abstract
The project for the Sokhna Mosque aims to represent the theme of "Chiasma," or the connection and dialogue between different horizons. The theme of light is put into form and matter by the invention of a typology of ten dimensional declinations of precast concrete skylights, which, resting on the simple reinforced concrete structure, create the poetics of color through the tradition, which is transversal to religions, of polychrome stained glass windows. The skylights, on the outside are like an orography of mountains previously unknown and now beloved.
