Environmental Response
The Al Aziz Mosque project was provided with worldwide unique and impressive Facade elements that were designed, produced and installed by LUCEM Lichtbeton. Each facade element is a massive concrete panel that is absolutely weatherproof and can withstand extreme temperatures usually prevailing in the summer months of the United Arab Emirates. The surface of the facade elements has been treated to ensure resistance of the erosion caused by sandstorms
