The Concept

Inspired by the Manjur Pattern which is considered one of Jeddah’s most interesting architectural heritage characteristics. The Manjur pattern can be described as lattice grilles of wood or a shish net, which are always on the top part of the Roshan or the Mashrabiyah.

Taking the Manjur pattern as the baselines for the Lighthouse body, and the waves of the Red Sea as the sculpting force, the final design appears as a dynamically sculpted and eyecatching monument that serves the purpose of an iconic landmark that is inspired by Jeddah heritage.

01 architectural Projects

Project Brief

The concept of this design is to create a simple and modern minaret that originates from the original shape of a traditional minaret with the emphasis of Nur (light).

During the day it stands out as a monument and during the night it reveals the hidden minaret within its walls with the use of Nur (light) and transparent concrete.

CONCEPT DIAGRAM

The Hidden Minaret Concept

The hidden minaret shape is displayed through a sculpture of negative space, mimicking a traditional minaret. It is made of fiber optic light mesh. The design can be used to display multiple shapes of a minaret with respect to the city’s history and surroundings. The lower body of the minaret will serve as a reading room with spiritual feelings.

Nur :

The word nur, or its derivatives, occurs forty-nine times in the Quran. It is used in reference to God, Muhammad, the Quran, the Book, the Torah, the moon and the faithful men and women. Al-nur is often used in combination with zulumat (darkness) in terms that describe movement from darkness into light, and from ignorance into faith. (Wikipedia)

Interior space

The interior space holds several interesting features that help create the ultimate meditation experience. There is a uniquely designed fireplace with a slim chimney hanging from the drop beams. Those drop beams hold LED spotlights powered with solar panels to light up the space during night sessions. In addition, the main platform contains a hidden storage underneath for storing any necessary equipment.

Spatial Journey

The rear part of the cabin holds an open terrace with a set of bowls that can be used for flower essence processing. The fabric skin helps in diffusing sunlight as it enters the interior space, also the height of it can be adjusted using a pulley to control the amount of sunlight entering the space as well as to cover the meditation area once the session is over.
