SEMESTER 4 DESIGN
USRA The lexical meaning of the Arabic word ‘usra’ [family] is derived from the words denoting unity, closeness and protection. The word refers to a group of people connected together through close ties that keep them together and maintain their unity. Families vary with the variation of the ties that hold them together.
Usra is meant to be the proposed design for Surau Al-Islah to promote brotherhood inside and outside of Muslim community of the area. It can be a community space for all to visit with family members besides praying activities. Family-based spaces promote connection between individual to familyand also to other families in the neighbourhood. The capacity of the surau is around 170 people and 350 people during Friday prayers.
