MOSQUES: THE VARIETY OF INTERIOR DESIGNS IN SHARJAH CITY



Different cultural ,and back ground of people living in Sharjah city over the years has impacted the urban planning and architecture of the city. This is also reflected in the mosque architecture of Sharjah externally and internally .

The interiors of the mosques reflect huge diversity of application of Islamic patterns used in mosques of various cultural back ground across the Islamic world .

These aspect were discussed in details during the lecture and few recommendations were made for designers to take in their consideration such as :
- Traditional concepts in terms of architecture and interiors need to be revisited and explored interiors from the past developed for future implementation .
- Use of modern concepts and technology in terms of materials ,such as sliding domes , folding umbrellas, and sustainability .
