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.

Nice approach, with clustering accommodation units and blending them with commercial, hygiene and well treated landscaped public areas in between. References to traditional cities are clearly achieved, with its delicate proportions between solid and voids, providing self shading units, and gentle transient from public, semi-public/private to private areas. However, the architectural language remains too conventional, despite the successful use of sustainable materials, PVs and modular structure systems. This proposal could be successfully developed for and extended use beyond the holy Hajj period.
