Muslim Christian Exchange

Linked and yet also differentiated by their religious water rituals,here an ecumenical mixing of Muslim and Christian worship is facilitated through the growing of food on the NoHo site for use in a community restaurant. Of particular relevance are the red chillies needed to create spicy kinds of food, with these being grown in a greenhouse full of steel circular columns with rings of irrigation channels. In the initial project, a constellation of water collecting devices is installed to circulate water around the site to suit people’s washing rituals prior to entering the new mosque or the existing chapel.
