Taking Jeddah as a case study, by defining the advantages and characteristics of the local architecture and the texture of the old city, it pays full attention to the physical transformations that have been adopted. It occupies a place in the urban planning and architectural form of Jeddah. However, the main objective of this study is to discuss the effect of modernization and westernization on the physical appearance of the city, comparing it with the local old urban fabric and buildings, and finally criticizing the impact of the modern movement in Jeddah in terms of the environmental, cultural and Islamic aspects. All in all, this study considered the most traditional of Jeddah as the main case study and outlined the effect of modernism and westernization in Jeddah, as well as criticized the modern architecture and urban planning in Jeddah.

Thus, it requires new well-planned projects that reflect to the world its Islamic identity and its modern development. Thus, this work has proposed an architectural project as a solution to enhance the service quality in Kudai parking land for the visitors of Al Haram Mosque. The goals of the project are to achieve the maximum comfort of Al Haram's pilgrims and visitors and to introduce better public transport services. Case studies of similar types of projects have been analyzed. Site analysis and corresponding design responses were conducted. In this work, for the proposed multi model transportation complex the estimated total net area is 17640 m 2 and the gross floor area is 25200 m 2. The multi model transportation complex will comprise few zone such as bus station, retail and recreation, history and heritage center, hygiene facilities, clinic, administration and services. This project is expected to solve the massive unorganized situation and chaotic pattern of public parking and buses in the area that does not reflect the city image of the holy Makkah.
