A Hussainia is a congregation hall for Shia ritual ceremonies, especially those associated with the Remembrance of Muharram. The name comes from Husayn Ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad and an Imam of the Shia. Hussain was killed by Yazid I in Karbala, Iraq, over 1,300 years ago. Shias still mourn the death of Hussain every year on the day of Ashura in Hussainias all over the world.

Multiple colours in complex repeating balanced patterns catch the eye immediately. This lavish building is slightly off balance however, retreating backwards - and what can be said of the significance of this? The sky goes from pale blue to white, lots of tones and shades surround this religious place, perhaps an allegory on a larger scale.
