Talk:Masjid Negara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reading the article regarding Masjid Negara I am confused! When I last checked 14 plus 5 equalled 19 - so why is there an 18 point star used on the roof of this building if it's shape is supposed to represent the 14 states of Malaysia and the five pillars of Islam?

[edit] Not a Le Corbusier building

Le Corbusier did not design this building, unless proof to show otherwise can be obtained from the Foundation Le Corbusier. Amazing how phrases can change from "architecture like Le Corbusier's style" to "designed by Le Corbusier".

A number of factual errors - 14 + 5 is indeed 19; the mosque sits on a 13-acre site; the minaret, main roof, reflecting pools were in the original design but sentence structure seems to imply that these came with the renovations.
