A quiet time of the year means more opportunities to indulge in exploring ideas in interesting competitions. Here’s one we worked on recently - a preschool for special needs children in Mozambique where vernacular forms and sustainable materials are considered. We dwelled on the idea of a school that is designed like a house and the possibilities of contemporary space for child development using natural local materials like earth blocks, bamboo, timber and thatch. - - Team: Eleena Jamil, Bahirah Rahman, Cheah Zhi Bin, Yow Pei San, Izzati Narozi - - #eartharchitecture #earthenarchitecture #earthdesign #adobewall #adobearchitecture #bamboostructure #bambooarchitecture #sustainableschool #modelmaking #architecturemodel #architecturemodelmaking #preschooldesign #preschoolarchitecture #schooldesign #schoolarchitecture #mozambiqueschool #mozambiquearchitecture #naturalbuilding #naturalarchitecture #naturalstructures #naturalbuildingworkshop #buildingnaturally #eleenajamilarchitect #schoolformozambique

Karwa Mosque sits raised on a plinth at a busy intersection in Tanjong Tokong, Penang and is reached via a series of steps which leads to a shaded terrace with a landscaped courtyard. - - photo by Marc Tey - - - #masjidkarwa #karwamosque #masjidkaratanjongtokong #communityarchitecture #mosquearchitecture #mosquedesign #culturalarchitecture #islamicdesign #culturalbuilding #culturaldesign #islamicarchitecture #islamicarchitecturesaroundtheworld #masjidkarwatanjongtokong #masjidkarwatanjungtokong #masjidarchitecture #masjiddesign #senibinamasjid #mosque #mosques #religiousarchitecture #malaysianarchitecture #malaysiaarchitecture #architecturemalaysia

The first professional photos are emerging from our recently completed Karwa Mosque. This mosque has been serving the local muslim community living in an old seaside village in Tanjong Tokong on the island of Penang, Malaysia since 1897. It used to be a quiet fishing village until the 1970s when urbanisation and densification started to take over. The coastline here has dramatically changed due to land reclamation exercises which allowed the building of malls and high-rise condominiums. Surrounded by modern tall buildings, the new mosque marks a gateway to the existing village which consisted of old half-timbered houses built based on the vernacular style. - photo by @twjpto - - - #masjidkarwa #karwamosque #masjidkarwatanjungtokong #masjidkarwatanjongtokong #mosquearchitecture #senibinamasjid #mosquedesign #communityarchitecture #communitybuilding #communityarchitecture #islamicarchitecture #culturalbuilding #culturalarchitecture #islamicdesignworks
