The Mosque Room
(First of all I use to read books and short stories and articles. When I worked in the library I would read on my break or take the book home. I like Stephen King, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Romance. I wanted to have a book in the libraries. So it is only natural that I would start making up a story or so which I did.)
The Mosque Room is about 70 or 75 x75 feet size. It is really large. Probably holds at least 1200 people. I decided to keep ten rows of benches in the back part. There are eight sections kind of angle rounded and each bench must hold eight or ten people. Ten rows are eighty benches. They are oak and they are called pews. May be we could keep five rows on each side in the front. Maybe Mohamed would not want the the five extra rows., He might want the area opened for true Mosque. There would be an Arab carpet in between the benches and the alter. The carpet could be cream, maroon and brown design. The carpets in the balconies are the same style. The ceiling is the kind where the four triangle roofs connect. The corners of this room have large clear window skylights. The corners are not squared they are angled about twelve or fifteen feet to the next wall. If anyone would like to see this building, google Saint joseph's roman catholic church, toms river, nj. Click on photos. The pictures do not really show how large this church is but if you look careful, you can see the pipes for the organ, the window skylights and the front entrance. This is a truly beautiful building.
I prefer the ceiling planked dark in the Mosque Room and the Libraries. The libaries have hardwood floors, the carpet and three foot bookcases around the room except for where the TV unit is. The would be a painting on the walls on either side of the TV unit which is recessed about three feet. There would also be a large painting on either of the side walls. Both the boys and girls library are set up this way. May be the paintings on the side walls are of Dragon Scenes Or Midevael scenes. There are photographs in picture frames on the tops of the three foot bookcases except the front ones which overlooks the Mosque below. The libraries are about thirty feet long and twenty five feet(approx) wide. They are around thirty feet long though. There is a brown sofa facing the TV unit and another brown sofa to the right and left to make a group. There is a large Chinese maroon square coffee table inside the group. There is a sqaure end table on each side where the sofas meet.
There is a round stainglass window above the TV units at both balconies. The stainglass is green with the red Morocco Star in the center. The stain glass looks dramatic from the Mosque below and the balcony libraries.
I use to play piano some. organ would be harder. The organ is to the left of the alter. The pipes are on the walls right and left. There are four sets of pipes and approx six pipes at each section. The larger pipes are nearer the outer corner brick wall and the rest work their way toward the alter. The bricks by the pipes are set so that there are square holes for the amplifiers. On the right side of the alter there is a small table where there is a CD Player to play music. The front wall meets at the corner where there is another six foot wide wall partition.is. There is an opening here on each side and then another brick partition. All the columns and wallls, and partitions must support the roof. In between these partitions is a ceiling over a walking area to another section of the Mosque. There are four large abstract stain glass windows along the walk with columns in between. Both side are similar but not exact. There is a white ceiling about ten feet high and the clear glass window Skylights are above these white ceilings.
On the left side of the alter there is the area of the organ, metal music holders for the singer or musician and a podium for reading. This has a wireless microphone. There is a two forrt wide curved wall around here to keep people out. The other side has a two foot wall planter for plants. That is also curved. By the left side there are wide steps with oak with maroon cloth covered seats. This would be for the chior. We will leave these chairs. I think there are three or four rows and there are quite a few seats.
I never pretended that the Saudi was Excaliur but I did pretend It was in the Palace on the dark wood hutch on the left side of the room. There is also a dark wood hutch on the right side of the room.
That is it for now.
