Designing Mihrab Using ‘Atumics’ Method: Asy-Syifaa’ Mosque as a Case Study

Abstract


Revitalizing older artifacts from existing furniture and building elements and integrating them into the interior design of a renovated building necessitates an appropriate methodology. This research aims to develop a new mihrab design for the Asy-Syifaa’ Mosque, with a focus on preserving the minbar and the inner dome as key artifacts. The study proposes using the ATUMICS method to guide the design process. To test preference between the ATUMICS-generated mihrab design and another design without ATUMICS, a vote was held among the congregation, and advice from interior design experts was sought on the chosen design. The findings show that the design generated by the ATUMICS method is preferred by both the congregation and interior design experts. Therefore, the ATUMICS-generated mihrab design was developed through adjustments using cutting-edge technologies and materials.
