CHAPTER 1 : A GLIMPSE OF THE SITE 

Location of the site within the city

The site is located in Amman the capital and the most populous city of Jordan, and country's economic, political and cultural center. Situated in north-central Jordan.

It is located in Wadi Saqra (valley) has an ancient history that testifies to the human civilization that settled in Amman since ancient times.

CHAPTER 1 : A GLIMPSE OF THE SITE 

Location of the site within the city

It’s claimed that the city of Amman is divided into west and east parts. In Seteney Shami’s article she writes, “East Amman is the older part where residential dwellings are on the hillside and commercial areas are distributed in a traditional liner layout along the valleys. West Amman, on the other hand, is less densely populated and more fashionable. Most economic investments are centered in different districts there such as

8|Page

Abdali, Shmesani, Swefiyeh and Abdoun. However, a large physical and social contrast exists between East and West Amman� (Shami, 2007, p.

208).

The most recent research that has been done in this area is the analysis of Mariam Ababsa (2010) who did intensive work in highlighting the social disparities between East and West Amman through addressing different lines of divisions between the two parts. In her empirical cartographic research, she demonstrates a marked morphological distinction resulting from various disparities between East and West Amman.

Informal housing communities developed near the Palestinian camps with their self-built buildings located in East Amman while neighborhoods with family-owned four story buildings, interspersed with villas and office blocks are found in West Amman. She adds that these morphological differences reflect the types of activities in each part, population density, employment rate, degree of citizenship and lifestyle.

According to Ababsa, the dividing line between the east and west neighborhoods of Amman defines West Amman by the area extending from Jabal Amman to Khalda and is bordered in the north by Wadi Hadadeh and in the South by Wadi Deir Ghbar. However, East Amman covers Amman’s historical center and more than half of the city with its north and south expansions (Ababsa, 2010).

Location of the site/ within the neighborhood

As we can see the site is located on the intersection of four main arterial corridors, which the municipality is developing in the moment. But the site is totally neglected from the studies and plans, though it has high potentials due to it location and size.

The Complex is superbly located in the highly sought-after 'area of Shmeisani and is prominently situated adjacent to the «old» Wadi Saqra Circle.

This corner site is along Arar street, bounded on two sides and accessible from both Sharif Nasser Bin Jamil Street and Shaker Bin Zeid Street which are under developing studies from the municipality.

Its location at the junction of such roads not only provides easy access for cars to the extensive car parks, but it also allows for taxis and public transport to drop visitors anywhere along the whole length of the project. The geographical location of the project and its proximity to such major arterial roads means that visitors from all over the region can gain fast and easy access to the complex.

Neighborhood Context

1- Land use Map Conclusion : dominant classification surrounding the site is Residential which mean this should be taking into consideration when choosing the appropriate function that will take place in the site, depending on full Analysis of the area and some survey. Also on the edge of the site long boundary we can see commercial strip , mixed use and offices.

2- Density Map Conclusion : the area is highly occupied and congested, with linear buildings arrangement with almost similar forms to maximize the footprint.

3- Accessibility Map Conclusion : the site currently representing an abandoned island with one main access Sharif Nasser Bin Jamil Street, and total ignorance from the other boundaries.

4- Hydrology Map Conclusion : high topographic slope, rain water and ground water direction toward the valley (site) as a natural behavior due to the topography in the area that can influence the design later on.

Winding throughout this extensive area are pathways that are provided with lighting and sitting areas. Various facilities are incorporated within the Landscaped Parkland including the Restaurant, the Children's Theatre, the Kiosk, and the rear part of the Amphitheatre.

In addition to the LANDSCAPED PARKLAND, the whole of the roof of the Shopping Mall is paved and provided with large planting boxes This pedestrian area at roof level is thus extensively landscaped and, as it lies at the same height as the adjacent Landscaped Parkland, the two areas flow into one another. In consequence, when viewed from the higher parts of the Complex, 'he majority of the area below appears as one large landscaped area.

CHAPTER 1 : A GLIMPSE OF THE SITE



Sport City Square

Circulation /Current Site Approach

The corner site is bounded on two sides and accessible from both Sharif Nasser Bin Jamil street and Shaker Bin Zeid Street.

Its location at the junction of such Prominent Roads not only provides easy access for cars to the extensive car parks, but it also allows for taxis and public transport to drop visitors anywhere along the whole length of the project.

Site

The geographical location of the project and its proximity to such major arterial roads means that visitors from all over the region can gain fast and easy access to the complex, thus creating an extensive catchment area for its activities and ensuring good patronization for the various retail establishments contained within the project .

CHAPTER 1 : A GLIMPSE OF THE SITE 

Human and Cultural / Proposed Projects within and near the site

“Due to the strategic location of the project it is proposed to establish a 4-star hotel on a piece of land with an area of approximately 10 acres in the south-western side with the possibility of taking advantage of the existing buildings shops, terraces, car parks, open spaces and green spaces with the rehabilitation of the supplementary elements for the hotel service.

But this is just a suggestion since the land belong to the Greater Amman Municipality and they don’t want to make it private except for special cases and situations such renting the land.”

CHAPTER 2 : CONCEPT Frame Of Mind Layers of Thinking

Stakeholder Analysis

Accessibility

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Is a type of urban development that maximizes the amount of residential, business and leisure space within walking distance of public transport ,TOD aims to increase public transport ridership by reducing the use of private cars and by promoting sustainable urban growth. TOD typically includes a central transit stop (such as a train station, or light rail or bus stop) surrounded by a highdensity mixed-use area, with lower-density areas spreading out from this center. The densest areas of a TOD are normally located within a radius of ¼ to ½ mile (400 to 800 m) 10 min walking around the central transit stop, as this is considered to be an appropriate scale for pedestrians, thus solving the last mile problem.

CHAPTER 3: CASE STUDEIS Haya Cultural Centre / Local Case Location : Shmeisani / Amman – Jordan Brief Tucked into one Of the busiest business districts in Amman, Shmeisani, Princess Haya Cultural Center (PHCC) was the first cultural center for children in Jordan, & the first learning center to put imagination into the learning process for children in Jordan, when it was founded in 1976 by HM King Hussein and HM Queen Alia, who named it after their little daughter, HRH Princess Haya.

Haya Cultural Center has nestled itself in the collective memory Of successive generations Who now speak Of it and Of their own success as a child Of Haya cultural center. The center is located at the heart of Amman, & can be accessed from all parts of Amman, west, south, north and east, by both public & private transportation easily. The construction started with the octagonal amphitheater, since then it had a special connection With HM King Hussein, thus With the Jordanian people. Our proposal accommodates up to 500 users, Of the youngest citizens Of Jordan, 6-12 years Old.

CHAPTER 3: CASE STUDEIS Haya Cultural Centre / Local Case Conceptual Approach After a deep contextual study of the surrounding, three urban layers were established. The first layer - the economy is represented by the surrounding banks & centers, as well as the nearby Abdali urban regeneration project. The second layer — the history is represented by the Old theater, & the value the center holds in the hearts of Jordanian people. The third layer — the Children who will be the actual users Of the Center, & who are completely ignored when the streets of Amman are being planned.

Thus, the main goal Of the project would integrating all the layers mentioned above. Shmeisani, being Amman's economical center. lacks an open green park, Where the employees Can enjoy their lunch break, & Will also be a place for children with their parents. The public park reflects the contextual factor Of the surrounding banks commercial centers, & acts as a solution for the first urban layer — the economy . The park Will be planted by the children themselves, encouraging them to make the world a better place. The landscaping lines are extended from Shrneisani Streets, to fit into the urban grid of the neighborhood.

The second layer is where history takes place, the octagonal theater was the first building to be built of the old Haya Cultural Center, the reason why it will be renovated & preserved. A Steel structure shell will cover the theater,re- enforcing it symbolizing the shelter that protects the local culture. making it an important part in the lives of the future generation of children. Every child should cope with the modern lifestyle but should also preserve his traditions & culture. The Shell Covers the theater & the sunken garden in front of it, creating an interesting shade & shadow effect.

The third urban layer Of the center represents the users Of Haya Cultural center. who are the children of future. the generation of video games extraordinary technology, In to attract this category of people, the center must jump into the future. To become a building Challenging the Surrounding buildings. Both the form & the function of the center act as a time machine. allowing the kids to travel into the future, The tilted cantilevered masses are lifted up on a truss box, a steel structure method that can hold the masses with no need for columnar support, The center holds a reflection Of future technologies & functions; farming & green roofs. photovoltaic cells, I-max theaters & inclined elevators. makes cultural center a place Of future memories, Where children observe, learn. & make a change.

CHAPTER 3: CASE STUDEIS Haya Cultural Centre / Local Case Present Situation and Challenges The now "tired" facility of NCC was once ahead of its time, offering children innovative learning experiences and global networking opportunities even before the time of internet. The current facility Of Haya Cultural center is run down, unsafe for children, surrounded by an eye-sore rented commercial strip. The Cultural center is underappreciated, bland and arid, and represents outdated technologies and arts in a rigid context. This redevelopment project is timed With the launch Of the nearby Abdali urban regeneration project with phased clusters of high rises that promises to relocate the "heart of Amman" from where it is today to Abdali area. Thus, deepening the urbanization of the area and adding more congestion and less friendly space.

CHAPTER 3: CASE STUDEIS The Corporate Campus of QualaMĂŠx / International Case Location : La Marquesa / Mexico Quala is a multinational company dedicated to the production and marketing of consumer products with a presence in 10 countries in Latin America. It has its beginnings in Colombia in the year of 1980, arriving in Mexico in 2004.

To represent the image of an innovative company, it is called to design modern facilities with the maximum use of natural light and landscape, considering that they are thermally efficient and in the use of spaces. The proposal should also represent a timeless and surprising image.

Site / The territory -Intervention contrary to the imposition of a building on the territory.

-Transformation guided by the constitutive principles of the territory and the topography.

-Camping the landscape to inhabit it is avoidable. Belonging to the landscape is inevitable.

CHAPTER 3: CASE STUDEIS Voxman Music Building / International Case The building shares this sense of musical discovery with the community through a transparent expression. The pattern of streets and open spaces in the mixed-use district of Iowa City extends directly into the building’s multi-level interior spaces, cultivating a sense of vertical urban vitality and acknowledging its place within the community.

SITE AND PROGRAM The six-story, 17280 m² building is situated between campus and the downtown core of Iowa City, embracing both academic and urban experiences. The program comprises a 700-seat concert hall, a 200-seat recital hall, an organ performance hall, a music library, rehearsal rooms, practice rooms, classrooms, and faculty studios and offices linked by a series of vertically connected community spaces. A multi-story glass corner entry at a major downtown intersection reinforces the merger of campus and city, with the two major performance venues marking their presence on each of the main facades. Between the performance spaces, porous, day-lit circulation volumes interlink to form the student commons, performance and rehearsal lobby, and a three-story atrium. A fourth-floor exterior terrace, nestled between the wings of the rear facade, serves as gathering space that frames views to the city’s historic courthouse and countryside beyond.

DESIGN The concert hall cantilevers over the Burlington Street sidewalk and the Student Commons below, while the recital hall, wrapped in a shingled-glass wall system, reaches out over the South Clinton Street sidewalk. A composition of subtly textured terra cotta panels and low-iron glass with delicate shading patterns wraps the full exterior. All spaces in the building, including performance halls, rehearsal rooms, offices, and common areas, provide natural light and connections with the outside while maintaining acoustic isolation. Requirements of the facility’s high-profile performance spaces are met by high-performance digital design. www.archdaily.com

63 | P a g e

CHAPTER 3: CASE STUDEIS Voxman Music Building / International Case The concert hall features a suspended “thermoacoustic” system, unifying acoustics, lighting, and life-safety requirements into a dramatic, multi-functional architectural expression, and the resulting intricately sculpted element is assembled out of 946 unique, folded-aluminum composite modules digitally fabricated from modules digitally designed and fabricated from the architects’ parametric model.

In the recital hall, red-colored acoustical panels optimize the room’s acoustical properties while incorporating a wall-sized shingled-glass window that unites the performance event with the urban experience. In the three major rehearsal spaces, high ceilings are filled with swarms of brightly colored, kite-like reflectors that vary between solid and perforated to achieve dynamic acoustical and lighting effects.

CHAPTER 4 : GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN

66 | P a g e

CHAPTER 4 : GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN Public Space A public space is a place that is generally open and accessible to people. Roads (including the pavement), public squares, parks and beaches are typically considered public space. To a limited extent, government buildings which are open to the public, such as public libraries are public spaces, although they tend to have restricted areas and greater limits upon use. Although not considered public space, privately owned buildings or property visible from sidewalks and public thoroughfares may affect the public visual landscape, for example, by outdoor advertising.

Recently, the concept of Shared space has been advanced to enhance the experience of pedestrians in public space jointly used by automobiles and other vehicles.

Public space has also become something of a touchstone for critical theory in relation to philosophy (urban) geography visual art, cultural studies, social studies and urban design. The term 'public space' is also often misconstrued to mean other things such as 'gathering place, which is an element of the larger concept of social space.

One of the earliest examples of public spaces are commons. For example, no fees or paid tickets are required for entry. Non-governmentowned malls are examples of 'private space' with the appearance of being 'public space'.

CHAPTER 4 : GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN Survey



What is your comments of the possibility of reviving the King Abdullah I Gardens project?

“ I used to always go there as a kid, but currently there is no reason for me to be there.. so maybe more activities for targeted users? And that will probably increase the safety there, since I don’t personally consider it to be a safe place..” “ would be nice, however, any attempt to revitalize anything in Amman ends up being a neoliberal, consumption space, which is sad and very exclusive, or elitist by nature.” “ Adding to it more greens and playful stuff for kids ” “ Its location on one of the main junctions of Amman and site steep slope weakens the potential of future development of a park theme. I see the location as a potential cultural center rather with performing outdoor areas and green.”



What facilities /activities would you add to the park ?

“ skating rinks, skateboarding areas. flexible programs that foster community.” “ Study places, cafes, a movie theatre maybe? so basically target users would be the "Youth" ” “ More entertainment facilities. The old one focused on circulation rather than entertainment, too much walking areas and not much games ” “ Playground, bike space, decent fields, a water feature, nice benches, beautiful Arabic scenery (Europe have green, we have sand, both are beautiful in their way.

We just need to use them correctly. Go to the Jordanian Uni, you see awesome coffee pot statues made of sand and other beautiful designs) ” “ Library, Café ” “ Meditation space Proper water features Outdoor study space with electricity sockets ”
