Al- Irsyad Mosque, Kota Baru Parahyangan, Bandung, West Java
Al-Irsyad Mosque or Ridwan Kamil Mosque is a mosque located in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The mosque was built in 2009 and completed in 2010. The mosque is shaped as a cube, without a dome. The architects of the mosque are Ridwan Kamil, the incumbent Mayor of the city of Bandung, and Urbane Indonesia.

The first thing you may notice about this award-winning building is that this mosque has no dome. But people have no difficulty identifying it as a place of worship thanks to the embedded calligraphy written on the wall. The walls were constructed using stacked stones to withstand tectonic tremors. With a capacity to accommodate approximately 1,000 worshippers, the mosque was designed to "blend in" with nature. The stacked stones allow for natural air flow, eliminating the need for special air conditioning. It is located in the center of Bandung, so you can not miss it.
