These buildings being case studies are good examples showing the failure of modern architecture, as the building form of mosques particularly was not accepted by the local residents. The evidence is an addition of minaret in imitation to Masjid Nabavi by the community. Further, architect has not taken care of the requirements of peoples like shoe keeping area. No consideration for mounting of public address system, air conditioning, illumination, etc. So much that the entrance was not at its place. This modular type planning was not in line with spirit of mosque architecture of Muslim world. Mr. Anwar Said was modernist who conceived the building forms without giving importance to the tradition of mosque architecture. He got opportunity to work for 32 years but it appear that the office environment and CDA administration has not permitted him to execute the design according to its original building form. He might be caught in web of system of execution under government procedure.
