“…Results indicate considering shading, especially during the middle of the year where the summer season hits where detrimental direct exposure to sun could happened for the site. This is however significantly different towards end of year and early of the year where according to graphic analysis shown beneficial amount of sun to be let in for the surrounding site [14]. One building will reject most of the direct sunlight if it is incorrectly planned for daylight.…”

“…These elements will help and aid the architectural concept and design process in future for the said location of the Central London [13]. With that being highlighted, Muslims worldwide especially those in the Northern Hemisphere will have to adapt to the seasonal changes and continue to observe the rituals and traditions associated in mosque especially during Ramadan with devotion and reverence, regardless of whether it falls in winter or any other season [14]. Thus, it is important to note as well that the experience of Ramadan can vary significantly depending on geographical location and cultural practices.…”

Any religious building's holistic and ceremonial performance is profoundly and dramatically impacted by lighting research. In this study, the current situation is examined via the lens of analysis, and a performance - based preamble design proposal analysis for the study of adaptive expansion approach for London Central Mosque. Numerous studies have been done on the significance of the ornamentation of mosques and its acoustics impacts on the congregational activities. However, few exceptions are given on the importance of daylighting effect in the mosques. Looking at the massive and widely compacted end-users in London Central Mosques especially during peak season given that the numbers of devotees is increasing each year, the objective is to understand the analysis and recommendations needed for the adaptive expansion approach in designing a daylighting framework for the northern hemisphere climate. The performance of the lighting design for London Central Mosque was the subject to few case studies referred that focused on the evolution and morphology of daylighting in religious and historical areas. Thus, this research will then conduct an observation and analysis studies as the method to materialize the findings. This study was also anticipating recommendations that suggest both passive and active design implications towards the idea of adaptive expansion. As a result, the outcome discussions demonstrate numerous implementation criteria ranging from design stages of site analysis, climate aspects to the electrical fittings and external shading devices well recommended for the best proposal assisting and improving the mosque's current circumstances. The study's findings also indicate that minimal glare and efficient lighting distribution help to reduce energy consumption, enhance reading quality, and properly illuminate public and private religion events and other activities carried out in the situation of optimum brightness of London Central Mosque.

“…Al-Farsi Mosque was one of these mosques that showcases sculptural qualities which differ from traditional models. It was designed in 1980, by the architect Abdel Wahed El-Wakil, who was trained by Hassan Fathy, known for his passion for traditional character, local building materials and construction techniques that integrate with the local context [8]. The mosque is situated on a small hill off the Jeddah Corniche; features that provided the opportunity to utilize cool sea breeze for natural ventilation and cooling of the mosque indoors.…”

“…In addition, the influence of the Qibla orientation and lighting illuminance on the spatial layout and the design of architectural elements were investigated. There were differences observed including: Hassan and Arab [8] and Ghouchani et al [9], reported that the central role of Qibla wall is to strengthen the Qibla direction, to create unity in the physical elements of mosque, as well as to attract the believers coming in at the entrance of mosque and influence their movement pattern. This was demonstrated in the Al-Farsi Mosque, where the Qibla wall is the first thing one can see when entering through the main entrance, which draws people in and influences their direction of travel.…”

Mosques are the most significant building in Muslim communities, where people perform their prayers and gather for social activities. The architecture and design of mosques have undergone significant changes over the centuries due to cultural, economic, and climatic factors. This raises a question regarding the design of the modern mosque. This paper analyses the physical characteristics of two Mosques located in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia, built at different time periods: the historic Al-Shafi'i Mosque, and the contemporary Al-Farsi Mosque. The analysis focuses on investigating the different design techniques used to lighten the interior space, and how this can be related to the identity of the mosques. In addition, it explores how the orientation of mosques, determined by the Qibla direction, has impacted the indoor lighting quality. This study provides some critical observations demonstrating the importance of the use of light in the mosque's interior, and the essential impact this has on psychological, physiological and behavioural responses of the mosques' visitors, with a focus on both daylighting and artificial lighting.

“…The functional and environmental aspects of mosques are performance elements that provide a well-maintained contemporary space of worship (Asfour, 2016). Operational conditions of thermal (Alajmi, 2010;Asfour, 2009;Mushtaha and Helmy, 2016), acoustical (Eldien and Al Qahtani, 2012;Ismail, 2013;Kavraz, 2014;Karaman and Güzel, 2017), and illumination (Hassan and Arab, 2013;Belakeha et al, 2016;El-Darwish and El-Gendy, 2016) performance elements in mosques, must be provided and maintained to serve a satisfactory performance for its users. It is necessary to optimize the worship space design and utilization for efficiency, achieving sustainability principles, within a social and cultural context of service that is required in mosques.…”

Post Occupancy Evaluation of the Built Environment: A Case Study of Mosque Facilities

et al. 2021

Mosques are religious and cultural facilities that are used as a place of worship, social gatherings, and religious events by Islamic communities. The built environment in these facilities should meet certain technical, functional, and behavioral requirements for worshipers. Mosques could endure critical defects and inadequate performance, with gaps in knowledge, of appraisal tools for their overall performance assessment. Therefore, this research was motivated by the need to identify and purpose an exemplary systematic process upon the conduct of post-occupancy evaluation, owing to the fundamental need for satisfactory conditions that need to be met by mosque facilities. Thus, this paper presents an exemplary post-occupancy evaluation of mosque facilities in Saudi Arabia; as a religious built environment. A triangulation approach of data collection and assessment methods were followed and discussed in this research. A case study mosque was selected, following a review of literature. Interviews and walkthrough inspection identified 34 performance elements. Users’ satisfaction survey data were collected and analyzed. Recommendations were proposed towards improving performance of the case study mosque as a religious built environment that demands satisfactory occupancy conditions. The findings indicated that worshipers were strongly satisfied with the conditions of the built environment in the case study facility; including acoustical comfort, spirituality, and aesthetic performance elements. This paper expands the boundaries of knowledge in terms of identification of mosques’ performance elements
