Dalia Aljawamis' Architecture Portfolio

Description I graduated from the German Jordan University with a B.Sc. in Architecture. My bachelor thesis, in cooperation with the University of Koblenz and the German Academic Exchange Service, tackles issues of climate resilience and adaptive architectural systems. The aim is to restructure the building typology of Ghor Alsafi through an agricultural school and community centre as a prototype to climate resilient architecture in Jordan Valley. I am very enthusiastic and passionate about sustainability and enviormental issues and am hoping to improve Jordan’s urban issues through sustainable design.
