“…This plaza is normally used for breaking fast during Ramadhan. Thus, this area will need a slight treatment for heating purpose if the Ramadhan fall during those seasons [4]. From the analysis in Figure 7 as well, it is shown that the radial distribution mapping shown the biggest circumference (C=2πr) facing the south-west in summer which is close to 40 %.…”

“…According to the 2021 census, there are now approximately 4 million Muslims living in England and Wales, making up about 6.5 percent of the country's total population and a growth of 1.2 million ever since 2011 count. This has significantly altered Britain's demographics and subsequently escalates the occupancy capacity in the central mosque during peak seasons [2] [3] [4]. The mosque serves as a gathering space for Muslims to engage in religious observances and group prayers.…”

“…[3] To avoid uncomfortable visual situations caused by high contrast, this research demonstrated the need for suitable daylighting for both the interior and exterior of structures. Additionally, the rhythm of lighting in religious buildings denotes a unique function and highlights the hierarchy of space layout and its importance in religious activities [4]. Usage of light not only has symbolic and spiritual significance, but also contributes to the enhancement of the adornment and beauty of mosque interiors.…”

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.

“…It symbolizes the existence of God and serves as a link between humans and the Creator in Christianity. Lighting can also create meaning and enhance quality of the interior of church [22] and serve as a space to bridge the gap between humans and God. To achieve this transcendental connection, a user-oriented lighting design approach is essential, focusing on the needs of space users as subjects.…”

Lighting is essential for improving the visual conditions and meeting the needs of space users. It serves both quantitative and qualitative roles in a building. Furthermore, the lighting in a house of worship fulfills visual tasks and creates atmosphere for worship. This research aims to explore the perception of the Nazarene Christian Church (GKN) Filadelfia congregation regarding to the interior lighting conditions of their church using the semantic differential method. The results show that the congregation perceives the lighting is suitable for visual tasks, but the interior design falls short in creating the atmosphere required for a place of worship. This includes aspects like identity, warmth, intimacy, mystique, hierarchy, and expansiveness. The interior lighting of the Nazarene Christian Church Filadelfia needs to be redesigned to align with the church’s purpose and meaning, in addition to meet visual requirements.
