UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR MOSQUE

The spatial characteristics of the Mosque of Prophet in Medina which reveals a prayer hall in a hypostyle model, one concludes that this scheme provides a suitable ambience for praying, through the sense of neutrality, non-procession, repose, and equilibrium it reveals, allowing every point in the space to be a center of equal significance. Universal design comes in how accessible the mosque is as a synergic space Multiuse of space
We must approach the mosque not as a building for a single set of ritual worship but more of a kind of social center.
