The 250 funnel-shaped umbrellas on the Piazza of the Holy Mosque in Medina add up to the biggest convertible shading roof in the world, shading an area of more than 150,000 m² in total. The play of light created by the translucent membrane vaulting creates a unique atmosphere in this special place and invites pilgrims to linger, pray and interact. The umbrellas are arranged in groups of between two and 15 units. Gaps in the main axis permit an unobstructed view of the mosque and minarets and thus provide orientation.
