The Viable Mina

Mina is part of the most prominent religious gathering in the world which is Haj. The first questions that come to mind while designing the project are how to create an executable module, hygienic, and crowd controllable. Other dimensions in the project are also necessary to consider, such as religious, cultural, sustainable, functional, and aesthetical.

The White Modules

The design challenge is to conceive a modular solution to host Hajj pilgrims in the city of Mina. The modular structure allows you to optimize spaces and, in this case, with the creation of two-storey buildings, it gives the possibility to accommodate a greater number of users, offering them greater comfort.

I firmly believe that architecture should not be just a "box" that provides people with living space. The human will and emotion that its architectural form can affect is the way of architectural existence. Architecture gives people individuality and the meaning of architecture is also a personal definition, often based on personal mystery and freshness.
