PROJECT SYNOPSIS
The Conservation
of
Masjid Diraja Sultan Ala’eddin
Masjid Diraja Sultan Ala’eddin or known as Masjid Bandar was constructed in 1905 and completed in 1914. It was named after the late Sultan Ala’eddin Sulaiman Shah Ibni Almarhum Raja Muda Musa, the 5th Sultan of Selangor (1898 -1939). According to a historical account, the mosque was erected upon initiative and contribution to the construction fund by his Highness Sultan Ala’eddin himself. The mosque was officiated on the 18th June 1924. It was registered under the National Heritage Act 2005 as National Heritage in 2005 by the National Heritage Department.
The mosque's design is much influenced by Mughal architecture, having a central Main Dome with a perimeter of smaller domes with a design adaptation of the onion dome. The walls are topped at all sides by decorative pinnacles and crenels. A series of arch-shaped openings at the perimeter walls encourages good natural ventilation and lighting in the mosque.
The main work scope of the conservation from 2015 until 2018 is to restore Masjid Sultan Ala’eddin to its original form. The works include the demolition and removal of all extension works and added elements that do not according to its original architecture.
