Design Challenge
The challenges I have encountered during the design progress to the final design product was to fulfill the clients needs according to the privacy which reflect the culture and traditions separating genders from the main accesses to have their own corridors and entrances. Also, another challenge was the facade design was to achieve the appropriate proportions and unity of the design elements as well to avoid the miss-use of space and function. Furthermore, the high temperature, weather was another critical challenge on this project. Due to the that reason I used narrow windows to reduce the excess of the sunlight that provide heat waves into the projects interior environment. According to that, I used the G.R.C arches and wooden (Mashrabeya) to provide shading areas on the project facade, also to reduce the air condition high cost.
Research
Part From the research it was about the traditions of the region and how to achieve them by design and distribution of spaces to achieve its function and the requirements of the owner. The other part of the research was on Islamic architecture and its elements, and how to achieve visual balance in the facades and the use of appropriate materials. Treated to withstand temperatures
Inspiration
The design concept was based on two elements. The client's passion in Islamic architecture and that show on most of his investment projects he has accomplished. The project location is in the second holiest city in the Islamic culture which is Al Madinah al Monawara, Saudi Arabia. That includes ancient architectural elements such as (masjid al Nabawi). (Al-Masjid a-Nabawī) is a mosque established and built by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, situated in the city of Medina in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. It was one of the first mosques built by Muhammad, and is now one of the largest mosques in the world.
