Islamic Courtyards: Mosque Atria

A large-scale square forecourt. All four sides have continuous arcades, and in the center is a ablution pavilion or pool. The ground is covered with large stone slabs with no vegetation, creating an open and empty space. On one side is the high wall and entrance of the prayer hall. People are in the shadows under the arcade.
Avoid: planting flowers and trees in the center of the courtyard, making the ground a geometric garden, inconsistent column spacing in the arcade, reducing the scale of the courtyard to a residential size.

一個大尺度的方形前庭。四面是連續的拱廊,中央是一座供淨身用的水亭或水池,地面是大面積的石板沒有植栽,尺度開闊而空。一側是禮拜殿的高牆與入口。人群在廊下的陰影裡。避免:在中庭中央種植花木、把地面做成幾何花園、拱廊的柱距不一致、讓中庭的尺度縮小成住宅規模。
