Parametric control of multiple blinds to enhance daylighting performance in the dome building: Case study of a mosque building in Saudi Arabia [PDF]
, 2023 Clerestory windows encircling the dome are a common feature in mosque architecture. They serve the purpose of allowing daylight to penetrate the spacious interior from all directions through smaller windows compared to side-lit windows.
