an community has defined tes of the urban environment by developing many buildings that have served its daily needs such as homes, schools, hospitals, and market places. These buildings have received their fair share of investigation, scientific studies and symposiums at both local and international levels. However, it is noticeable that the Mosque, which is considered the most important public building in the Muslim community, has not received appropriate levels of studies and scientific research to reflect its vital status in the life of all Muslims. This limited amount of scientific study about the Mosqueusing the modern technologies in structural, mechanical, and environmental systems are being seen. On the other hand, the study of mosques and their evolution will enable us to understand Muslim towns in terms of their growth pattern, and therefore provide a reliable planning and regulatory tool which will assist in defining the neighborhood boundaries, densities, and needs.

The impact of mosques, and specially the two Holy Mosques and the Aqsa Mosque, on the urbanism of the Islamic city requires further study and documentation. Therefore, this refereed scientific symposium comes in response to the increasing need to highlight mosque architecture in general and that of the two Holy Mosques in particular. The symposium will be accompanied by an exhibition which will highlight the new expansions of the two Holy Mosques, in addition to the architecture of mosques and major Islamic centers in the world, and will feature the use of new technologies in the design of these facilities. This symposium is sponsored by the College of Architecture and Planning at King Saud University, in collaboration with the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowment, Da’wa, and Guidance.

The expansions of the Two Holy Mosques

Architectural education at King Saud University started in 1387H (1967G), when it was offered by the Department of Architecture under the umbrella of the College of Engineering. This was the first Department to teach architecture in Saudi Arabia. Due to the vast urban development experienced by Saudi Arabia, and the pressing need for architects and planners, this department was expanded in 1403H (1983G) to become the present College of Architecture and Planning.

The historic and urban development of mosques

 The number of mosques in Saudi Arabia has reached 38,820 and the production of King Fahd Complex for Printing the Holy Quran has totaled about 117 million copies since its establishment in 1405H (1985G). The Holy Quran’s meanings are translated into seventeen languages.

John Schroeder, airport lighting engineer for Mn/DOT Aeronautics, facilitated the sharing of ideas and best practices among session participants, including airport managers, maintenance staff, consultants, and elected officials. Schroeder began his career as an electronics technician at Control Data Corporation and worked for Unisys in computer engineering and development until joining Mn/DOT Aeronautics in 1989. umber of mosques in Saudi Arabia has reached 38,820 and the production of King Fahd Complex for Printing the Holy Quran has totaled about 117 million copies since its establishment in 1405H (1985G).
