Sultan Mosque — Bussorah Street Facade

The story behind the place

Sultan Mosque is an important place of worship in Singapore’s Kampong Gelam neighbourhood. Its origins reach back to the nineteenth century, while the familiar domed building belongs to a later chapter. Beneath the great dome, a band incorporates glass bottle ends contributed by members of the community. Those small repeated pieces bring a human scale to an imposing landmark: a reminder that a building’s story can include many kinds of contribution.
