The new Abu Dhabi Mosque Development Regulations (ADMDR), according to the council, acknowledge the central role that mosques play in their respective communities.
“Mosques are at the heart of the emirate’s culture and Islamic identity and the mosque regulations have been created to address the planning, design and operation of mosques across the emirate.
The new regulations, the council added, will ensure that mosques of the right type and size are distributed efficiently throughout communities — with ease of access for all citizens — and that they are of the highest quality in terms of their structure, landscaping and their future operation and maintenance.
Al Ahbabi further added, the regulations have been developed as an essential tool kit for a range of stakeholders involved in the development of mosques, including donors, designers, contractors, architects, engineers, Estidama PRS Professionals, municipalities and consultants. Furthermore, the new regulations require the use of an Integrated Development Process (IDP) to ensure that all stakeholders work together effectively.
“The regulations encourage the preservation of local heritage by promoting both traditional and contemporary interpretations of Emirati mosque designs as well as the use of local materials, colour palettes and patterns in a modern way. Architects and engineers are also encouraged to use sustainable approaches that have been tried and tested for generations, such as natural ventilation and lighting,” he added.
