MODERN MOSQUE DESIGN WITH NARROW LAND UTILIZATION & STRUCTURAL STRENGTH ANALYSIS

The utilization of narrow space for building construction needs high innovative thinking in realizing functional, aesthetic, and sustainable values. A building is not only seen as a physical form, but also as an expression of the identity, values, and functional needs of a building.

The design of a building such as a Mosque must take into account the main function of a building, it takes comfort in worship, it takes space efficiency for worship or work and has broad access within the building area based on the positioning of space as needed. A good and professional design will accommodate the needs of its users with a high aesthetic blend.

In conceptualizing a building design and analyzing its strength, it becomes an effort to reveal the identity and value of the owner and the benefits of the designed building. What is also of concern is a building form by considering the design model of each country and even the colors, textures, and building materials used contribute to a unique building model and present the character of the building design.

Consequently, modern building design also takes into account sustainable values, the use of environmentally friendly materials, designs that take into account natural light, and efficient energy management systems.

The concept of modern design is very important to create a building that has a very high aesthetic value, so the integration of the latest technology and innovations such as the use of strong materials and light weight can even control lighting, temperature, human life safety (security) and accessibility in creating a comfortable environment with the right functional target.
