Abstract

Open spaces have been a key feature of mosques since the first Nabawiy Mosque was built during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Fourteen centuries have passed, and mosques have evolved in accordance with their surroundings, with open spaces not always being a key feature of mosques. The issue of mosque designs that tend to be exclusive is an important reason for reviving the inclusive nature of mosques as in the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him). This paper aims to review the role of open spaces in mosques in meeting the needs of the wider community, including various age groups and socioeconomic strata, and even non-Muslims. This paper also puts forward an idea for integrating open spaces into mosque design for Generation Z. This generation, with its unique characteristics, is expected to play an increasingly important role in revitalizing mosques. This study adopts a mixed-methods research-by-design (RBD) framework, combining a qualitative historical and literature synthesis, exploratory precedent case studies, and a quantitative user preference survey involving 100 Muslim Generation Z respondents (N = 100) in Medan, Indonesia. The findings from these methods were integrated to formulate design ideas for inclusive mosque open spaces that respond to the needs and preferences of Generation Z. This study shows that open spaces are an important key feature for inclusive mosques that are in line with the needs of Generation Z, who are open-minded towards advances in information and developments in thought, art, science, and technology. The concept of inclusive mosque design for Generation Z offers open spaces that are integrated with urban spaces and directly connected to mosques structurally, functionally, and visually, where social activities become a showcase for mosque activities.

Abstract

Traditional markets are places where sellers and buyers interact directly in social and economic aspects. This design aims to create cleanliness and comfort for visitors by using an eco-friendly architectural approach. This study's research method uses qualitative methods through literature studies and also field observations with primary data obtained through surveys, documentation and interviews. Then carry out an analysis of the site and architectural aspects to serve as guidelines for design. This design implements the main concepts, including zoning which consists of a public zone, namely the traders' room, inner court, food court area, event area and parking area, a semi-public zone, namely the reception room in the management room, a private zone, namely the management room and service zones, namely security post, loading dock, toilet, prayer room and service room. The zoning concept is based on its function, namely a traditional market where the parking area surrounds the market building, then there is a loading dock area that surrounds the market building and there is a food court area in the inner court of the market and an event area in the market section. This market building has an open concept which only has a roof as protection from sunlight and rain. This building has a height of 1 floor with a spatial arrangement for wet commodities and dry commodities and also non-food items in the front area. The central part of the room or the center of the room has an inner court area for culinary delights by adding a concept and having lighting that comes from skylights on the roof.
