How is this oriented on the site? Why are the prayer rugs diagonally? If that is towards Mecca, then the Mosque should be orientated in that direction. Why are there still two curves in the side buildings? The curves do not create spaces that help you project. The geometry of all the shapes and intersections do not work together. How do people enter and leave you spaces? Also, remember that the site is not flat, but slopes a full level form one end to the other. Look at it in section. Go back and look at your precedents and how they were organized.
Orientation to Mecca is very important. I need to see that in a diagram by it self. Than we move on to locating the buildings.i am hoping what you are showing here is just a bubble diagram to scale. Worry about the rugs later on. You need to figure out your buildings, starting with the Mosque first.
It is hard to link this drawing with an overall one you posted earlier. At first I thought it was a close-up of it, but it actually is not. Try to combine into your site all the drawings you posted so far: Site plan with Mecca direction and an overall floor plan, so we could better understand where you masses that you build into your model are in reference to you site, relationship to the adjacent buildings, street flow and access, relation to sun and therefore light, etc. Than you can also start thinking of your program and circulation more in detail. How do worshipers get to the prayer hall and leave? What is the design load of worshipers? Start drawing diagram lines of this circulation in reference to all the program requirement and site accessibility.
