The giant kinetic umbrellas of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi transform one of the world’s largest religious courtyards into a climate-responsive architectural landscape. ☀️ Developed by SL Rasch GmbH in collaboration with SEFAR, the mosque’s 250 foldable PTFE canopies open like enormous mechanical flowers, shading pilgrims from extreme desert temperatures that can surpass 48°C during Hajj season. Rising nearly 20 meters high, the structures reduce ambient temperatures by at least 8°C while preserving the spiritual atmosphere and visual identity of the Prophet’s Mosque. More than shading devices, they operate as a sophisticated environmental system where engineering, material innovation, and architecture work together at an urban scale. 🎥 GEZİYOM #parametricarchitecture #engineering #kineticarchitecture #climateresponsive #medina
