The Durka and its relation to the entrance location in the elevation from the point of view of energy science

Abstract

The study examined the relationship between the Durka and the entrance block of religious buildings. Schools and synagogues were chosen as the subject of analytical study because they are the most spiritual places and the most organized energy based on their orientation to the honorable Kaaba. The analysis was done from the perspective of biogeometry, which is the latest in energy science and the philosophy of feng shui, which is an ancient Chinese philosophy. Both Islamic civilization and energy sciences have come together in order to develop a design solution in the event that the entrance does not mediate the wall of the facade. Three jewels and schools belonging to the Mamluki-Jarksi era in Egypt, namely the Al-Maid Sheikh, the Sultan Qunsoua Al-Ghuri School and the Ashraf Pressbay School, were analysed.These buildings were selected after the field visit of a group of religious buildings, the entrance to which is located on the front block and the entrance to which is located on the tip of the facade.The result of the analysis was that the darkening vacuum was a design solution used by the Islamic designer.
