FUTURE


Somali federal government has said that in the future it will be moved from Aden Adde Airport in Mogadishu, because it is located in the city, and the airport has changed into a residential area for embassies and foreign agencies, so in the future, it is a large international airport will be built on the outskirts of Mogadishu. the first survey for the project to build a new airport in Mogadishu officially started in January 2020, and the airport will be built on a 14km plot. The airport will be strategically designed and the project to build it will be the largest to be implemented in Somalia.

PAST

The oldest existing Masjid in Somalia is Masjid Jaama’a (also known as Friday Mosque or Masjid Jum’ah) – built in the year 636 AH, it is situated in the heart of Hamarweyne. It is one of the three oldest Mosques in Mogadishu, the other two being Masjid Araba’a Rukun and Masjid Fakr ad-Din (both built in 667 AH), all located in the historical quarters of Hamarweyn and Shingani. According to locals and oral tradition, the mosque was originally called Mohammed al Awal (which translated to Mohammed the 1st), this attests to the fact that the mosque was built during the period when Mogadishu was ruled under Mohammed Ali. In addition, adducing to this is that it was under his rule the Mosque Mohammed al Tani was also built, which translates to Mohammed the Second.

PRESENT

The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity was constructed in 1987 by Hamar Construction company with financial support from the Saudi Fahd bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Foundation. It is the main mosque in Somalia's capital city, and an iconic building in Somali society. Following the start of the civil war in the early 1990s, the masjid closed down. It was later reopened in 2006 by the Islamic Courts Union, which began raising funds from the business community for intended renovations of parts of the building. In 2015, the Federal Government of Somalia completed formal refurbishments on the mosque's infrastructure. The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity is the single largest masjid in the Horn of Africa. It is capable of accommodating up to 10,000 worshippers. The Masjid also overlooks the Somalia Sea.

FUTURE

The cost of building the mosque was paid by the great businessman Sheikh Ahmed Nur Ali Jim’ale, who named the mosque after his father Ali Jim’ale, may God have mercy on him. Sheikh Ahmed Noor Ali is the main owner of Hormuud telecommunication company which is a company that provides telecommunications and other services. The mosque was built in a very high style, different from other mosques in Mogadishu, and it looks like the mosques in Turkey, while its construction has been going on for years

PAST

 

The design and shape of the building facilitate teaching and learning in many different ways. The environmentally friendly building is an example of the importance of nature and how to lead a friendly lifestyle in collaboration with the environment. Other factors such as the air circulation, temperature, noise, color, and lighting of the interiors add value to the learning styles and skill development of a child.

Present

School building designs can vary greatly in appearance, from modest private schools with a single main building to expansive public schools that may house hundreds of children. However, all great school building designs should share similarities in safe structural designs, non-toxic and eco-friendly materials, and features that promote a more comfortable, stimulating atmosphere.
