ADAM ROSAN Date of birth: 12th, April, 2000.

Live in: Amman, Jordan.

Major: Architecture.

A skilled twenty-two-year-old artist who enjoys sketching buildings. Architecture piqued my interest because it appeared to be a practical application of my artistic abilities, and it showed me that art is more than simply a means of self-expression; it is also a means of thinking and producing things. I’m a fifth-year Jordanian university architecture student, I studied in Portugal on an Erasmus+ exchange semester at the University of Beira Interior, also worked at ADNBA architectural firm in Bucharest, Romania as architectural intern through the IAESTE program.

Existing Ruin (Site plan)

This project was the primary project that I had during my exchange semester in Portugal which is a rehabilitation project for an existing ruin in Covilhã, Portugal.

Covilhã is a city with artistic flavor and based on that it was gathering artists from Europe, the main idea for this project was revitalize the neglected ruin and turn it into a residence for those artists who come to Covilhã for artistic purposes, concerning creating spaces for living and exhibiting the art, reaching the point of creating an art center in the city.

The aim of this project is to emphasis the existed art in covilha, to be a museum that contain cultural reflections in covilha such as street paintings, historical buildings, in new way within the historical frame.

• Investing the past like a bridge to built the future.

• Contrast exterior and the interior.

• Create place that enrich the city

About site -The site Located in King Abdullah II Street near ALsha’ab circle, Amman, Jordan.

-We can see that our museum will be in the middle of many typologies.

Which gives us a way to design an iconic museum between all these styles of architecture.

Forming and morphology The idea stems from representing traditional life as a clear box, surprisingly a ball have been dropped, this ball was enough to start the story. Contrast in shape and material start to appear, but why contrast?

- to represent the conflict between past and future - combine new and old in museum design two languages Curves and Lines united by one element which will be dominant in the whole project

mism, which means a negative occurrence that may have a positive aspect to it. Despite all the negativity of 2020 a lot of improvements occurred such as the massively improvement of online networks and the unity of the nation to face this global pandemic and racism in its all aspects.

Organic shape been used to describe the motion of the timeline. The ball used as a dropped force which distort the shape in a way that push it vertically (renaissance), this ball became the transition point from darkness to brightness just like renaissance period after the dark ages and the black death.

Marble for flooring and stairs.

•

Welded stainless steel plates for organic shape and ball.

•

Colored chrome for repeated vertical element.

DRAWINGS AND URBAN SKETCHES I was always trying to see the o w rld from a different angle until I discovered that I have a great ability to express myself in drawing, and it is also a good way to keep diaries.

I enrolled in the architecture department, and then I find out that I could combine this talent with my major, which is architecture; therefore, I tend to sketch surrounding buildings and urban fabric. In addition, I try to simulate the spirit of the place and u p t it in my sketches, I tried to capture the beauty in my own country, and after that, I expanded to sketch in Spain, Portugal, Romania, and Egypt.

My goal is to share the beauty, document it, and make people realize aes
