Culinary art is one of the most ancient forms of cultural expression, where there are abundant types of food with different and unique tastes in this world. Although Saudi Arabia is an extensive country with diverse nationalities, and each has its unique taste in food, it has few culinary art academies. In addition, those academies are limited in activities. Culinary art academy will allow people to exchange culture; they will be able to communicate and mingle with multi-nationalities in Saudi Arabia. In addition, students interested in this field can make their career where they can get a degree in culinary arts and learn from and interact with the finest culinary professionals through this multicultural opportunity. Moreover, the culinary arts industry benefits the owner financially through the establishment's reputation and the students who study or visit it. From the perspective of interior design, this paper highlights the importance of this multicultural academy. In addition to the literature review, the case study analysis and the conducted survey studies and discusses the fundamental interior design requirements that should be formulated when establishing and designing this kind of academy. Throughout the paper, the qualitative approach will be used to examine the precision of the suggested hypotheses, leading to clear outcomes and results.

Arts are surrounded humans—whether they realize this or not—where they used to be involved in this creative process of building things into existence. Indeed, the process of crafting is a historical heritage and a symbol that comes from any nation’s culture. Despite the rich diversity in Saudi culture and its various arts, it has recently begun to appear larger and wider. This is mainly due to the growing awareness within the Kingdom and the increased presence in many regional and international cultural events. In harmony with the architectural idea, the interior design of the arts and crafts centers is the core environment to exchange culture and art expression and preserve and modernize those arts and crafts. These centers usually include handmade crafts exhibitions and provide workshops for pottery, wood, textiles, and fine arts. So, this paper aims to highlight the role of the interior design of these types of centers as the environment to preserve and exchange the culture, focusing on traditional arts and handicrafts. The paper is mainly based on the qualitative approach, which starts with the literature review and discussing the practicing, studying, and demanding the arts and crafts, then analyzing two different examples of the social-cultural and the handicrafts centers, then ends with a survey study to investigate the Saudis’ subjective points of view about this kind of centers.

The Egyptian traditional handicrafts are the result of the cumulative experiences of the community which reflects the cultural heritage of the individuals and their relationships with one another, with the available resources and also with the surrounded environment. These traditional handicrafts are varied according to many issues, but in general the result is always artistic and fascinating. In fact, there are many studies about the types of the Egyptian traditional handicrafts. In one hand, there are many studies about the classification and analysis of these handicrafts. In the other hand, there are less studies about how to develop and improve these handicrafts, but the majority of these studies are considering these handicrafts as (art works) …Yes, It is acceptable to consider these traditional handicrafts as art works or artistic artifacts, but this way of thinking is limited and would not be able to promote these handicrafts which wrestle so as not to disappear. This point is the main core of this paper which is presenting and discussing a strategy to preserve and promote the Egyptian traditional handicrafts. The idea here is to think about these handicrafts – not only as art works/artistic artifacts – but also as industrial products. This overarching consideration leads to build specific actions (methods and plans) to achieve goals. The suggested strategy will not be a theoretical proposal, but it depends on realistic discussions, examples, interviews and an actual experience of challenges and alternatives.

تعتبر الطفولة من أهم مراحلة في حياة اإلنسان، ففي هذه المرحلة في حياة الطفل تنمو القدرات وتتفتح المواهب حيث قابليته المرتفعة لكل أنواع التوجيه والتشكيل في شخصيته. تعد الرياضة من العادات اإليجابية جدا على صحة اإلنسان باالخص األطفال، كما هي مهمة للطفل الطبيعي فهي أكثر أهمية للطفل ذوى اإلعاقة، فال شك أن اإلعاقة تؤثر على صاحبها فهي تقلل من قدرته وتؤثر على نفسيته وتجعل صاحبها غير قادر على اإلندماج مع المجتمع فهو يشعر دائما بالعجز والضعف من داخله وهذا يؤثر عليه باالنطواء والهدوء واالنزواء عن مجتمعه ومن حوله، ولكن كل هذا كان بالماضي أما اآلن فاختلفت نظرة المعاق إلى نفسه وبذلك استطاع أن يغير نظرة العالم إليه وهذا أثر عليه باإليجاب فاستطاع أن يكتشف في نفسه ما يدفعه الى األمام. وتهدف الدراسة إلى أهمية توظيف التصميمات التفاعلية في برامج األنشطة الرياضية و الحيزات الداخلية الذى يمارس بها الطفل ذوى اإلعاقة الحركية لتتوافق مع االحتياجات الخاصة لديه وتمكنه من ممارسة األنشطة الرياضية وفقا للتطور التكنولوجى المعاصر. واتبعت هذا الدراسة المنهج الوصفى التحليلي لوصف و تحليل مفهوم وأنواع األعاقة الحركية واألدوات المستخدمة فى التحرك واالنتقال وإتاحة الوصول والمنهج المسحى لدراسة بعض نماذج أنظمة التصميمات التفاعلية وأثرها على األطفال ذوى اإلعاقة و ما أثر تطبيق تلك األنظمة التفاعلية على تنمية المهارات والتحفيزالعقلى والبدنى للطفل.

Through the relationship that closely links the built environment with the human being, through which human comfort and well-being is achieved according to specific criteria that take into consideration according to the nature of the place and its function, schools are educational buildings that specialize in serving the student in the first place. Preparing schools to form a nurturing environment for the student requires this to get to know more about the student and the internal environment of the place where he spends the longest time through enrollment in the school (the classroom), and this study comes to fulfill his needs and desires that may motivate him to belong to this constructed environment with the aim of achieving his comfort and ensure the growth of the integrated integral body socially and psychologically, this aims to apply sustainable design strategies to the internal environment of the classroom, which reflects the importance of the role of the interior designer in meeting the requirements of the space and exploiting it to come out with a sustainable interior design that connects the elements of the physical environment component of the classroom space and provide easy-to-apply application proposals that contribute to reflecting interest on all stakeholders involved in sustainability to achieve energy savings; and finally, sustainability, so as to achieve a healthy, stimulating and supportive internal environment for children, to create an attractive, flexible, educational environment allowing the user to control it according to the surrounding conditions. The problem can be summarized in the following question: In view of the pursuit of support and spatial comfort for the student in the classroom, how can interior design contribute to the application of the concept of sustainability so as to increase the quality of internal environment for the classroom? Objective of the Research : The main objective of this research is to apply sustainable environmental design strategies to the classroom, which in turn is essential in promoting healthy internal environment in the classroom in order to achieve a balance between comfort and efficiency to ensure complementarity between classroom design and student needs; thus, the classroom will be capable of responding quickly and adapting to immediate requirements. Methodology: The research is based on a descriptive analytical and applied approach: through a descriptive study of the elements of internal environment quality associated with sustainable design, as well as the analysis of ways to achieve the utmost benefit from it within the space through the researcher's design vision.

Abstract: A Mosque is the heart of the Islamic architecture. Since the dawn of Islam until now, mosques are still considered one of the most important places and facilities for Muslims. Muslims gather for prayer inside the mosque five times a day, where a mosque purpose is not only for worshiping, but also as a meeting point for Islamic social and intellectual activities that usually reflect religious identity. Indeed, Muslims are doing all their best to preserve and maintain their mosques as an overarching privilege that enhances their religious, social and cultural interactions. Despite the unlimited number of mosques all over the world and the noticeable increasing interest in developing their architectural, structural, fundamental elements, there is a less interest in developing, modernizing and updating the mosque furniture and its accessories. Accordingly, this research paper mainly focuses on clarifying the importance of developing these furniture and accessories that meet the physical and psychological requirements of the mosque visitors (worshipers) as these items and accessories enhance and improve worshipers’ experience inside mosques. In a sequential manner, the paper is a brief for the evolving role of the mosque (from ancient times until today), and then explains its value as an Islamic architectural beacon. The paper goes into depth in diagnosing and discussing significant needs for updating mosque furniture and accessories, by highlighting weakness or shedding light on what is not available. In this context, the researcher presents and discusses many contemporary design paths for mosque furniture, in addition to clarifying many different ideas for accessories by presenting drawings and details of many design ideas for contemporary mosque furniture (Footwear shelving system, locker system, chairs …). Moreover, it is highlighting some contemporary ideas for various accessories, such as: The Holy Quran reading holder and the central chandeliers in the mosque.
