Abstract
The retractable umbrellas at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina exemplify a seamless integration of modern industrial design and Islamic architectural aesthetics. Designed to address the intense heat of the region, these innovative structures provide shade and comfort to worshippers while enhancing the mosque's visual harmony. This article explores the functionality, engineering marvels, and cultural significance of these umbrellas, emphasizing their role as a sustainable and user-centered solution. As a symbol of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, they showcase how industrial design can harmonize tradition and innovation, offering a model for future projects in culturally significant spaces.Department
