Alomari Mosque, Jabalya , Gaza

The idea was prompted us to design this project, the principle of volunteerism, and get off the street and close contact with people, people and workers and engineers.

Actually, we started the working on the morning of Wednesday, we visited the site for analysis, and we did surveying for the building, and toured all over the place, and we meet the people there.

The project was an ancient mosque in northern Gaza, Jabaliya, where the mosque is to be transformed into a cultural center, to educate people about the importance of architectural heritage and community service, and the mosque contains the oldest minaret in Gaza.

We have worked with each other in an integrated team, my colleague Mustafa Asi modeled the building on sketch up program,Mohammad Darwish Rendered it on 3d max ,Naeem Rustam designed the elevations, Aburrahman Shurafa modeled of the minaret, and then I landscaped the site. Landscaping and gardening site in such a case is very important, where the fixed strips that shaded by a tree does not block the view of the historical building, the fountain and cascading of water, that give calm and tranquility. The building low-up from the surrounding, making the project more exciting, I have designed a metal staircase down to the building align the street, To the space in front of the main gate. Give respect and sanctity of the place. Also the front garden were calm, and provides a special atmosphere of the building, Images speak about themselves.
