The idea of the project is to create a dominating cubic central mass surrounded by a hierarchy of masses, which represents the pilgrimage “Tawaf” around the holy Ka’aba.
Then came the necessity of creating a skin of the facade to utilize the traditional Arabic mashrabiya pattern facing the glass panels to help avoid harmful heat and reflects the direct sunlight, in addition, to saving energy by reducing the air-cooling load.
