![]() ![]() Since such donations are neither statutory, regular nor mandatory, the maintenance of mosques can only be as effective as the level of donation received. Thus, mosque maintenance mostly relies on funds sourced through donations or grants, to ensure continued functionality and aesthetics. While maintenance funds are usually deducted from the rental income in the case of income-generating buildings, this is not the case for non-income buildings such as mosques. The analysis shows the effect of the technological development on form, new structural innovations, materials, glazing and daylighting, and interior ornaments and decoration.īuilding maintenance extends the functional life of a building. A comparative analysis was used to demonstrate the architectural treatments in both the ancient eras and the contemporary designs to express (1) the scale of the building mass (2) the unobstructed and attractive interior and (3) daylighting. This research will spot the light on the new mosque architecture trends in both building exterior mass and interior design. Large areas of glass and daylighting are crucial to symbolize the direct connection between the prayers and Mighty God, as well as to allow lighting to penetrate deep into the prayer hall. The interior space should be spanned widely and unobstructed to accommodate the enormous numbers of prayers. The exterior mass of the mosque should be gigantic to depict the need of the prayer to Mighty god. Hence, mosques symbolize the connection between prayers and Mighty God which is reflected in both: the exterior mass and the interior design. Mosque is not only a building where occupants perform a specialized and specific activity, but also it is the place where prayers can have relief by praying to the mighty God. The MIC’s objective is to build bridges between research communities engaged with diverse aspects of science, technology, and innovation, seen as the key levers for attaining the SDGs. The papers featured in this collection were presented at the 5th Memaryat International Conference (MIC), held at Effat University, Jeddah. ![]() Recognizing that the popular understanding of Muslim culture and archetypes is, at best, minimal among the broader public worldwide, this book has two objectives: i.e., (i) to explore Masjid architecture as a carrier of culture, heritage, and the sustainability of Muslim communities and (ii) to offer a bias-free introduction to the intricacies of Muslim architecture, culture, and heritage today. The Mosque, as an institution, continues to serve as the epicenter of spiritual, moral, and cultural life in Muslim societies. Against a backdrop of environmental and societal concerns, best captured by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book brings together the leading voices on Mosque architecture to make a case for its role as a purveyor of culture, heritage, and sustainability in the modern world. ![]()
