LINEAR SHAPES

To further explore model making, I used scrap pieces of wood to create a random shape, which then I outlined to create a possible solution. I have also added in features of a mosque to further finalise it

Diamond shape

For this research I have looked into patterns I could find on a prayer amt. this is a direct link to my design and so thought it would’ve have a good connection to take some parts of the patterns found, and using it for my building design in some way. Has a continuous, linear structure

I created two outcomes for this design idea The layout of the main buildings is the same however the structures surrounding it are slightly different. The first idea is individual structures with arch like openings on all four sides. I have placed these onto the side that faces the river, so if anyone was to stand to see the view, they can do so comfortably as there will be shade, It is also useful because if it were to rain, people standing outside would have shelter. Having them singular, spaced out and on one side only, disregards it feeling too cramped.

The red for both distinguishes where the mosque and structures are

Follows circular path

Sketchup version to visualise how it could look like if it were my final design

This design was inspire by a research, which is this circular, oval structure that has arches to lead into the main building. This surrounds the building completely. I have added some hollow diamond like shapes at the top, so that a lot of light can come through, otherwise it could end up feeling quite closed up.
