Visiting the central Jam-e-Mosque in Oslo
Finally!
Monday we were able to visit the Norwegian “Blue Mosque” in Oslo live. One part is still under construction but the result is already stunning.
The Jam-E Mosque is perhaps the most beautiful and richly decorated mosque in Scandinavia. Unfortunately, the beautiful hand-painted tiles on the facade proved to withstand the icy climate poorly.
A solution was found by reproducing the tile motifs on weather-resistant and easy-to-assemble façade panels from Steni. M2uur bv was commissioned to make the translation from tile to facade panel.
For this, a total of 430 unique tiles were digitized and created into a matching pattern. The assembly is now in full swing. The complete work will be completed by mid-October.
