Historic Environment Scotland say the mosque is of outstanding social historical interest for how it tells the story of the development of the Muslim community in Scotland. They are now holding public consultation into the plans.
Glasgow Central Mosque could be recognised for its 'significant' architectural and historical value under new proposals.
Historic Environment Scotland are proposing to recognise the religious centre as category A - protecting it for future generations. The central mosque was built between 1979-1984 and was the first purpose built worship centre of its kind. It was constructed in the Postmodern style according to Islamic architectural traditions in the country and includes a courtyard and Arabesque garden that contribute to the special architectural interest. It also incorporates local traditions by using red brick, pigmented red concrete and terracotta tiles to reference the red sandstone traditionally used in much of Glasgow.
HES say the mosque is also of outstanding social historical interest for how it tells the story of the development of the Muslim community in Scotland. They are now holding public consultation into the plans.Elizabeth McCrone, Director of Heritage at HES, said: “The Glasgow Central Mosque is a distinctive local landmark and an important building both in terms of its architecture and the role it has played in the historical development of the Scottish Muslim community.
Once the consultation has closed, HES will consider the comments received and make a decision on the designation.Join Glasgow Live's WhatsApp communit y here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages
