Through face-to-face interviews, mosque users have expressed a desire for a range of specific characteristics in their places of worship, further highlighting the importance of incorporating user input into the design process. The study aims to examine the design features of various mosques and assess their compliance with user preferences, with the broad goal of ensuring that mosques are capable of addressing their functional role. A field survey of six mosques was carried out. The findings show that mosque designers have not fully considered these preferences, resulting in a relative discrepancy between user preferences and actual mosque designs, which introduces concerns about the effectiveness and functionality of mosque spaces. Accordingly, the study recommends active community engagement in the design process from the early stages and emphasizes the need for retrofitting current mosques to address design deficiencies. In this context, the findings are useful for identifying areas for improvement for current and future mosques. They can also be utilized as a practical guideline for architects, designers, and other stakeholders involved in the mosque building process. © 2024 Published by Faculty of Engineering – Sohag University.

识别符合专家偏好的清真寺建筑特征:在埃及阿西奎特市部分清真寺中的应用
清真寺作为公共场所,在设计时应考虑到广大社区的需求和偏好,以方便人们进行精神修行。通过面对面的访谈,清真寺使用者表达了对礼拜场所一系列具体特征的渴望,这进一步凸显了将使用者的意见纳入设计过程的重要性。本研究旨在考察各种清真寺的设计特点,并评估它们是否符合用户的喜好,其总体目标是确保清真寺能够发挥其功能作用。对六座清真寺进行了实地调查。调查结果显示,清真寺设计者并未充分考虑这些偏好,导致用户偏好与清真寺实际设计之间存在相对差异,从而引发了对清真寺空间有效性和功能性的担忧。因此,研究建议社区从早期阶段就积极参与设计过程,并强调有必要对现有清真寺进行改造,以解决设计缺陷。在这种情况下,研究结果有助于确定当前和未来清真寺需要改进的地方。这些研究结果也可作为建筑师、设计师和其他参与清真寺建设过程的利益相关者的实用指南。© 2024 索哈格大学工程学院出版。DOI: 10.21608/SEJ.2024.266422.1051
