Researcher and architect Ali T. As'ad conducted extensive archival research in Stuttgart, at the studio of Dr. Mahmoud Bodo Rasch. Discover his findings and his personal connection to this research in this exclusive article.
The exhibition From Bauhaus to Mecca introduces you to the fascinating architect Dr Mahmoud Bodo Rasch. Born into a German artistic family and having studied architecture, he seemed destined to follow the modernist ideas of post-war Europe. But he made a different choice: he converted to Islam and became one of the most important architects of the Islamic religious world.
The exhibition From Bauhaus to Mecca will be on display from 8 November 2025 to 6 April 2026.
