Vali-e-Asr Mosque (original) (raw)
The Vali-e-Asr Mosque or Valiasr Mosque (Persian: مسجد وليعصر (عج)) is located in Tehran, Iran. It takes its name, a reference to the Mahdi in Shi'ite tradition, from the nearby Valiasr Street. The mosque was designed by the founders of the Iranian architectural and urban design firm Fluid Motion Architects, Reza Daneshmir and Catherine Spiridonoff. It spans 3855 square meters and contains eight floors, four of which lie underground. In addition to serving as a place of prayer, the mosque also functions as a cultural center, containing a library and several classrooms. The mosque became a source of controversy in Iran due to its lack of domes and minarets. Consequently, its official religious operations were halted by the Iranian government in 2018.
