DESCRIPTION
Andrew Delle Bovi, University At Buffalo, School of Architecture and Planning. This Portfolio was based on the designing of a mosque. The final task of the semester was to design a mosque near a college campus. There were two projects before the final, which was to design a society of rooms ( 4 rooms, different volumes, and no program or function) and the other was a genealogical research of different mosque types.

H o r i z o n t a l i t yG o a l : Design Four “empty” rooms that are simply meant to enclose space. These four rooms are not designed for a specific program, but rather to promote a specific feeling.The four rooms should be designed so that they allow for a variety of connections defining the society of rooms.
Design: In this project the main feeling is a transition from an introvertive (inward) feeling to an extrovertive (outward) one. In my society of rooms both frosted glass and corrugated mirrored walls are used in order to obtain the experience. The circulation is of an oscilating pattern in order to exaggerate the experience. As one passes through each cube a different feeling is evoked. The experience is solely in the horizontal dimension.

V e r t i c a l i t yG o a l : The objective of this research is to describe the spatial relationships that constitute the mosque typology. As a follow up to the first exercise, students should be particularly interested in the definition of rooms and their groupings defined by the mosque typology. Stu-dents were aksed to research three mosque conditions, architectural, atmospherical, and Cultural.
Design: During our group reasearch we decided to begin our studies by looking at patterns seen in Mosques. Architecturally we looked at the mosiacs on the domes. Atmospherically we looked at the patterns found in the lighting conditions. Culturally we looked at the patterns of the rugs. The rugs were related to the dimensions of a single praying space. After studying them together we began to make the connections between them. Our conclusion and mosque typology was simplicity to complexity from ground to sky. This conclusion is experienced in the vertical dimension.

Using the Design Speculation from the Society of Rooms and Genealogical Research of the Mosque Typology as a point of departure, I designed an Islamic Center for the city of Buffalo. The design includes a prayer hall, a multifunction room, an outdoor courtyard, a reading room, and a parking lot/garage. Ancillary spaces are also provided: shoe room, kitchen, restrooms (men, women), and alution rooms (men, women)

Genology to Mosque: Simplicity to Complexity
Transfering our genological conclusion to my own Mosque design allowed for me to come up with a simple pattern. I could use this pattern to achieve my goal for both the society and genology. The pattern starts with the rug and splits into two lines forming a triangular shape. That shape then splits into four lines on the ceiling and creates a complex pattern on the roof.

Society to Mosque: Horizontal Experience
In order to obtain my goal of a transition from extrovertive feeling to an introvertive experience I chose to apply the feeling in the horizontal direction. The experience starts from the edge of the campus and ends at the highway. This creates openess towards the campus and enclosure towards the highway. The grid in which I achieve this is based off the rug pattern. Once the pattern moves away from the mosque it spreads out which creating larger openings

The pattern is very segmented limiting views but allowing for light. The structure is thick which ob-structs views outside and inside.
The pattern is very large allowing for views looking outwards.It is also the highest building for maximum views

The program is ordered in a way to exagerate the horizontal experience. The oscilatting pattern in the society was taken into account when designing the mosque. The program is arranged to enforce an oscilating circulation. The courtyard has become the central circulation zone. Also the zone in which one would have the greatest expereince horizontally and vertically

The pattern no longer stays flat but rotates upwards and sideways in order to increase complexity and for atmospherical conditions. By Slanting the roof it allows for rain and snow runoff. For each of the rooms each element rotates more drastically, the closer the elements get to center, the greater the distance they rotate. The triangular beams add thickness for diffused light and structure.

One of the factors that effected the design was the constant slope of the site. The way in which it was used by my design was through four terreced levels. Each level containing one of the four programs. This helped to exagerate the courtyard condition. Pedstrians may access the builing from various entrys at the top of the slope. The vehicular traffic, often comming for praying has di-rect access to the prayer hall from the parking lot.

The Courtyard
This is the view that one would experience when entering the mosque through the courtyard. The sloping ramps are designed in bands which align with the structural elements of the building.

PerspectiveThis is the view that one would experience when entering the multi-functional room. The large glass windows allow for direct views towards the mihrab, when inside the multifunctional room. This banquet room commonely used to host college events may also double as a praying space when the prayer hall reaches its capacity limit.
