dbpprop:abstract	Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil is an Egyptian architect who designed over 15 mosques in Saudi Arabia and is considered by many as the foremost contemporary authority in Islamic architecture. Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil is one of the original voices in architecture that advocates Tradition and Continuity in lieu of the fervid ideology of the Modern movement. Through his extensive work in the Islamic world and beyond, he has established beyond a doubt that the commonly accepted imperatives of the machine age are no excuse for denial of the precious traditions of Islamic culture. He uses contemporary technology with the confidence of an artist whose spirit refuses to become subservient.
