New mosque near Preston, Lancashire
26 February 2021
Preston Mosque Architecture Competition
Thursday 25 February 2021
The RIBA launches an international design competition for a new Mosque near Preston, Lancashire, northwest England, UK.
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today (Thursday 25 February) launched a competition for the design of a new mosque on a site near Preston in Lancashire on behalf of a local registered charitable trust.
The client is looking to create a landmark, timeless building on this site, close to the city centre.
This site is located close to the city centre but in its own, prominent setting, visible from a large part of the surrounding area including key routes into Preston therefore there is a great opportunity to design a building which will become a proud element of Preston’s skyscape for many years to come. At phase one, the competition seeks initial anonymous design concepts. A shortlist of up to five teams will then be selected to develop their designs.
The RIBA competition is open to registered architects worldwide. Further details about the competition and how to enter can be found here.
Initial design proposals must be submitted by 14:00 (BST) on Thursday 22 April 2021.
Date: 22 April 2021, 14:00 Place: Preston, Lancashire, UK Contact: call+44(0)113 203 1490 | [email protected] Fee: £4,000 +VAT
Introduction
A local charity is seeking a talented and ambitious architect to develop ideas for a new Mosque on the northern outskirts of Preston, Lancashire.
The design solution should be of the highest quality, both enduring and at the same time modern and reflective of current trends. As such, the design team should seek to create a landmark building.
Examples of landmark buildings of worship in the local area include:
• Preston England Temple in Chorley, Lancashire – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints • Fairhaven United Reformed Church in Lytham St Annes • Church of St Walburge’s in Preston – boasts the third tallest spire in the country
Location
The site for the proposed Mosque is at the western end of D’Urton Lane on the northern edge of the City of Preston. The site has been cut off by the recent completion of the Broughton bypass alongside the junction of the M55 and M6 and as such sits in a particularly prominent and elevated location. Drone footage of the site is available to view here:
youtube
Design Guidance
The intention is to produce a strong and bold design that is clearly identifiable as a place of worship but not necessarily to the extent that it is dominated by the traditional Islamic designs. Similarly, it is acceptable to have an element of Islamic flair or features but this is not paramount and if the building has minarets they should be subtle and modern in appearance. The building should have a clear focal point or strong design features which gives character and visibility at some distance. It should not be so institutionalised as to simply have the look of a contemporary office building.
Consideration should be given to the potential for the creation of an external courtyard area or sahn which would be part of the public realm and available for informal meetings or relaxation.
Detailed consideration should be given to the appropriate use of materials as part of the design but also in terms of the future maintenance and operating costs of the building which will be run by a charity. For example, it may be that a material such as marble or other high quality stone is acceptable whereas timber, although having the potential to add a contemporary element to the design, is not due to the ongoing maintenance requirements. Simple composite panels and cladding are unlikely to be the solution and the preference is most probably for the use of more traditional materials such as brick or stone, including marble.
Maintenance should also be considered not simply over 25 years but much longer.
Scale
It is expected that the mosque will extend to the equivalent of three storeys, with a large prayer hall of double or triple height and a capacity for some 450 prayer mats plus circulation space. This area should be open to allow clear views for all worshippers. There should be no columns in this area, but the prayer hall does require a domed roof to accommodate a double or triple height grand space.
In addition to the prayer hall, there should be three floors of other accommodation including a ladies’ prayer hall on a separate floor with a separate entrance and clear views into the main prayer hall. This area should extend to approximately half the overall footprint of the building.
The charity’s retained architects have prepared an indicative sketch of how the site may be laid out. This demonstrates a footprint of at least 730m2 is achievable but this should not be regarded a minimum or maximum requirement.
Interior
The building should make maximum use of natural light where possible. At this stage it has not yet been determined how the interior design will be addressed. Entrants are therefore encouraged to put forward their general ideas for the interior design which should be simple and not ornate with a general open and contemporary approach.
Sustainability
The architect should seek to achieve a zero carbon development or as close to this as is reasonably possible, subject to the demonstration of costs and benefits. This may include the achievement of a BREEAM Excellent rating or the equivalent but should look at all opportunities for the incorporation of renewable energy, enhanced thermal efficiency and sustainable materials where possible. However, such renewables should not be visually dominant and should not be clearly visible in views of the building.
Prominence
Given the location of the site, the potential is there for this to be a visually prominent building and the design should take advantage of this. It will be visible from both motorways, the surrounding area and, of course, close up.
It is therefore essential that the building makes a real visual statement from whichever angle it is viewed. It should become a real focal point and landmark building for North Preston and the approaches to it.
Landscaping
Consideration should be given to the potential for landscaping of the site. This should take into account short and longer distance views of the site to maximise the quality of the setting within which the building will site. There is a preference for the landscaping to incorporate a majority of evergreen species, but it should also address the emerging requirement for a 10% biodiversity uplift.
There may be an opportunity to combine the scheme of landscaping with that to be undertaken by the highway’s authority on adjacent land. Maintenance of the grounds should be taken into consideration also.
Parking
The layout should maximise the opportunities for parking with a minimum of at least 140 spaces including disabled spaces and electric charging points. There should be no underground parking. Cycle parking should also be provided and thought should be given to the overall pattern of travel and accessibility to the site. The parking should respect the landscaping scheme and not dominate the site

The Hawks Of St Walburge – for Places of Poetry Northwest 2021
“.. It’s like riding a huge ball of almost unlimited energy. The power is just unbelievable.” – Chief Test Pilot, BAE Systems Typhoons on test fly past the church’s lofty spire, where hawks hunt like angels scrambled by a super-power; to dispense their grisly ex voto gifts – dismembered vestiges of grass-snake vole and bird – to the good parish of St Walburge and The Sacred…

February 4 - St. Rembert, Archbishop of Bremen - 888 A.D
He was a native of Flanders, near Bruges, and a monk in the neighboring monastery of Turholt. St. Anscharius called him to his assistance in his missionary labors, and in his last sickness recommended him for his successor, saying: “Rembert is more worthy to be archbishop, than I to discharge the office of his deacon.” After his death, in 865, St. Rembert was unanimously chosen archbishop of Hamburg and Bremen, and superintended all the churches of Sweden, Denmark, and the Lower Germany, finishing the work of their conversion. He also began the conversion of the Sclavi and the Vandals, now called Brandenburghers. He sold the sacred vessels to redeem captives from the Normans; and gave the horse on which he was riding for the ransom of a virgin taken by the Sclavi. He was most careful never to lose a moment of time from serious duties and prayer; and never to interrupt the attention of his mind to God in his exterior functions. He died on the 11th of June, in 888, but is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on the 4th of February, the day on which he was chosen archbishop. His life of St. Anscharius is admired, both for the author’s accuracy and piety, and for the elegance and correctness of the composition. His letter to Walburge, first abbess of Nienherse, is a pathetic exhortation to humility and virginity. The see of Hamburg being united to Bremen by St. Anscharius, this became the metropolitan church of all the north of Germany: but the city becoming Lutheran, expelled the archbishop in the reign of Charles V. This see and that of Ferden were secularized and yielded to the Swedes by the treaty of Westphalia, in 1648. See his life written soon after his death, in Henschenius, p. 555. Mabillon, Act. Bened., &c.

Even though I’m not religious, I have a deep respect and admiration for churches of all denominations. The variety in the architecture is astounding.
This is St. Walburge’s Roman Catholic Church based in the Maudland Bank area of Preston. It is famous for being designed by Sir Joseph Hansom - who also designed the hansom cab) - and for having the tallest spire of any church in England. The spire is an impressive 309 feet.

Saint of the Day – 25 February – St Walburga (c710 – died 777 or 779) Also known as:-Auboué, Avangour, Avongourg, Bugga, Falbourg, Gaubourg, Gauburge, Gaudurge, Gualbourg, Valborg, Valburg, Valpurge, Valpuri, Vaubouer, Vaubourg, Walbourg, Walburg, Walburge, Walpurd, Walpurga, Walpurgis, Waltpurde, Warpurg – Religious/Missionary – Patron against coughs,,against dog bites, against famine, against hydrophobia or rabies, against mad dogs, against plague, against storms, boatmen, mariners, sailors, waterman, farmers, harvests, Eichstätt, Germany, diocese of, Plymouth, England, diocese of 4 cities
St Walburga was English, the sister of two associates of St Boniface in evangelising Germany and the Lowlands. She was the daughter of St. Richard the Pilgrim, a West Saxon chieftain, and Winna, sister of St. Boniface, Apostle to Germany. She had at least three siblings; two of her borthers are known by name, St. Willibald and St. Winibald.
In 720 her father and two older brothers went on a pilgrimage to Rome. Her father died at Lucca, Italy, but the brothers reached Rome where St. Winibald (c.701-761) became a monk, while St. Willibald (c.700-787) went on to the Holy Land.
Walburga was educated at Wimborne Monastery in Dorset, where she became a nun. In 748, she was sent with St. Lioba to Germany to help St. Boniface in his missionary work. She spent two years at Bishofsheim, after which she became Abbess of the monastery at Heidenheim founded by her brother St. Winebald. At her brother’s death in 761, St. Walburga was appointed Abbess of both monasteries by her other brother St. Willibald, who was then Bishop of Eichstadt. She remained superior of both men and women until her death on February 25, 779.
She was buried first at Heidenheim but her body was tranferred next to that of her brother, St. Winebald, at Eichstadt. n the 870s, Walpurga’s remains were transferred to Eichstätt. In Finland, Sweden, and Bavaria, her feast day commemorates the transfer of her relics on May 1. At present the most famous of the oils of saints is the Oil of Saint Walburga (Walburgis oleum). It flows from the stone slab and the surrounding metal plate on which rest the relics of Saint Walburga in her church in Eichstädt in Bavaria. The fluid is caught in a silver cup, placed beneath the slab for that purpose, and is distributed among the faithful in small vials by the Sisters of Saint Benedict, to whom the church belongs. A chemical analysis has shown that the fluid contains nothing but the ingredients of water. Though the origin of the fluid is probably due to natural causes, the fact that it came in contact with the relics of the saint justifies the practice of using it as a remedy against diseases of the body and the soul. Mention of the oil of Saint Walburga is made as early as the ninth century by her biographer Wolfhard of Herrieden. – from the Catholic Encyclopedia article Oil of Saints
Second-last – Painting by the Master of Meßkirch, c. 1535–40. Last image – The St. Walburga Church in Bruges was originally a Jesuit church

The church’s Union Jack is flying at half mast, but soon it will be raised to celebrate all enemies vanquished – even Death. Meanwhile Eurofighters on test tear the firmament overhead and prefigure visions of fire and blood.

Preston Field Audio - PFA - four tracks of pastoralia and musique concrète, two from each end of the spectrum
Following 2016’s Rhythm Tree Fell [concrete tapes], PFA sees Carl Brown redeploy for another full length offering, illustrating 4 scenes in 4 corners of Preston, Lancashire.
The release is indebted to a sense of care, illustrated by the quality of collaboration throughout. Beyond features, the carefully curated additions of Jon Aveyard, Sam McLoughlin, Richard T Holmes, and Joshua Horsley demonstrate a meeting of ideas and sensitivity to Preston as a place.
PFA delivers a considered and concise portrait, with restricted instrumentation allowing for greater focus on the evolving subtleties of Aveyard and Brown’s field recordings and the city as a home.
The city is captured in a state of flux, with the listener positioned amidst a landscape midway through change. Throughout PFA, Preston-as-field is placed in measured dialogue with musical arrangements, often with a delicate ambiguity between environmental and instrumental sounds that consistently eschews cliché.
St Walburges/ Piano - Richard T Holmes Violin - Jon Aveyard Field recordings taken by Carl Brown on New Years Day 2017 at The Church of St Walburge, Preston. Recorded live at UCLan March 2017
Last Days of Market/ Home made instrument bought from Preston Market - Sam McLoughlin Binaural field recording of Preston Market, May 2017 by Jon Aveyard
River Phase/ Piano - Jon Aveyard Korg Arp Odyssey - Richard T Holmes Field recordings taken by Carl Brown, December 2016 on the River Ribble, Preston. Recorded live at UCLan September 2017
The Night Bus/ Field recordings taken by Carl Brown, September 2017 at Preston Bus Station.
All tracks produced and arranged by Carl Brown except ‘The Night Bus’ produced by Carl Brown and Joshua Horsley
