Architecture is something I have always been interested in. I on the other hand chased this path, because I truly believe in design as an agent for change Thats so huge, because since the day i learnt about urban planning, my life has been redesigned around ideas of "Improving the quality " To encompass everyone, no matter their capabilities and also respect the environment landscape as well as the context culture of each place that we design in it. And my guiding principle is always, "Better quality."

I am very excited about where architecture is going and especially today technology to model in 3 dimensions and the importance of realistic visualization. Architecture, for me, has always been more than building spaces but rather elevating experiences and making lasting impact: ["Creating Meaningful Places"].

1PROJECT BRIEF

The fusion of engineering and architecture

In the heart of Jordan University, a visionary architectural engineering project is taking shape. It's a venture that aims to forge new connections and break down barriers between two worlds – the Faculty of Engineering and the soon-to-be-established Department of Architecture.

The crux of this initiative is a magnificent bridge that spans the physical distance between these academic giants, but it represents so much more. It symbolizes the fusion of engineering and architecture, a harmonious blend of two disciplines that will redefine how we build and create.

But this project ISN'T just about steel and concrete;

It's about fostering collaboration and interaction among students. Within the walls of the new Department of Architecture, carefully designed spaces have been crafted to encourage teamwork. It's a place where ideas flow freely, where creativity knows no bounds.

Moreover, the department is gearing up for the future. It's being equipped with cutting-edge technologies and resources, a testament to its commitment to modern teaching methods and innovation in architectural education. In this space, the architects of tomorrow will be inspired, equipped, and united to redefine what's possible in the world of design and construction.

Jordan university

Jordan University is characterized by different designs of its buildings of different buildings.

The oldest university in Jordan is therefore its architectural design marks the development of architecture in Jordan from the beginning of the construction of the Jordanian State

Most of the university's buildings are white stone and there is a courtyard that mediates the building to enhance indoor lighting

PROJECT BRIEF

The design philosophy for this farmhouse underscores the importance of preserving the natural environment. To achieve this, the project will prioritize materials that have a minimal environmental footprint, including locally sourced, renewable, and recycled materials, while simultaneously minimizing excavation and drilling A surface-oriented design approach will be employed to facilitate rainwater dispersion, preventing accumulation . Furthermore, the farmhouse will be thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light penetration, reducing the need for artificial lighting and enhancing energy efficiency. Through a meticulous focus on sustainable practices, this project aims to set a benchmark for green building in Jordan, showcasing how a farmhouse can seamlessly coexist with its surroundings while maintaining the integrity of the Earth's beautiful landscape O s o s e n g i n e e r i n g c

This architectural project seeks to create a sustainable farmhouse in the picturesque landscape of Jordan, emphasizing the preservation of the Site's natural shape, including its slopes and contours. The central objective of this endeavor is to harmoniously integrate the farmhouse into its environment, minimizing disruption to the terrain and showcasing exemplary eco-conscious design principles. The project is driven by a commitment to environmental preservation, with a strong focus on the choice of building materials, the implementation of modern irrigation methods, and a holistic approach to green building practices
