Very bold approach and concept, aspiring to optimize the visit and pilgrims services in Mina. Based on the Caravan Serai references from traditional architecture, the design output appeared rather exaggerated in scale and expected crowd management. The servicing and crowd management of the expected number of visitors for this structure will be very challenging. We appreciate the studies and research spent to solve this building structurally, prefabrication and engineering processes. However, remain doubtful about the adequacy of such a structure in the project area environment and surroundings.
