_Al-Rahman El-Rahim Mosque, 6th October

Information

This mosque is situated on the 6th of October city – Egypt.
The mosque is mediated by a group of small residential villas located in the centre of the residential neighbourhood. Most of these villas came in a classic western style. Hence, it was thought that the architectural character of this mosque (despite its simplicity) reflects the legacy and greatness of Islamic architecture to remind the inhabitants of this neighbourhood of Arab identity and the fine architectural details used in Arab architecture.

The architectural shape of the mosque was designed so that the outer shape served as a façade of the northern air, so that it would enter from the outer courtyard to the mosque where the windows were used to help rise and exit the hot air. Bathrooms have been placed in a location that allows them to ventilate properly, taking into account the absence of smells inside the mosque. As for the outer space, it was shaded by shade trees so it will be shaded in the summer and warm in the winter. The leaves of these trees fall in the winter and allow the sun to reach and warm the place. The comfortable Earth colors are used to provide comfort and peace of mind to the worshipers.
