Considering the mighty architectural feats Bjarke Ingels Group has already accomplished, it's no surprise that the people there have taken it upon themselves to design the first mosque in Copenhagen. Outdoing even their past work, they've created a structure almost too magnificent for words.
Stretching 150 feet into the heavens, the first mosque in Copenhagen feasts on light. A beacon from the outside, it also gobbles natural light into its belly for visitors to enjoy as well. A counterpart to Copenhagen's Our Savior Church, it will surely stand proud.
