	Faisal Mosque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1969, an international competition was held in which architects from 17 countries submitted 43 proposals.
		After four days of deliberation, Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay's design was chosen.
		Many conservative Muslims criticized the design at first for its non-conventional design and absence of the traditional arches and dome, but virtually all criticism was eventually silenced by the mosque's awe-inspiring scale, form, and setting against the Margalla Hills upon completion.

	Amazon.ca: Editorial Reviews Books: Sister Shako and Kolo, the Goat: Memories of My Childhood in Turkey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Brief tales center on young Dalokay's friendship with Sister Shako, a reclusive, eccentric widow whose life revolves around caring for her seven goats, including the unusual, temperamental Kolo.
		Inevitably, this type of story tends toward sentimentality, but Dalokay-with the aid of his translator-saves it with the vividness of his memories and the lyricism of his language.
		Sister Shako, whose husband and sons were murdered in a vendetta, lives with her goats in a stable belonging to Dalokay's father, the ``village landlord.'' With daily visits, the boy's unusual friendship with the old woman flourishes.

		The mosque is dedicated to the memory of the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia who graciously financed the cost of the project as a gift to the people of Pakistan.
		During the construction of the project, Dalokay offered an explanation for his design to school students on a study tour; I tried to capture the spirit, proportion and geometry of Kaaba in a purely abstract manner.
		Imagine the apex of each of the four minaret as a scaled explosion of four highest corners of Kaaba Ð thus an unseen Kaaba form is bounded by the minarets at the four corners in a proportion of height to base akin to Kaaba.
