forward It is imperative that the greatest, most intelligent and fascinating forms exist around us in nature, through various topologies and morphologies. Often, we overlook the potential they can hold in shaping our built environment.

This raises the question “What if our built environment becomes an emergent phenomenon of our natural environment, and is shaped by similar processes to those that generate the natural environment?” This question specifically informed what our programme agenda for the AA Visiting School in Jordan is all about.

The transfiguration from natural to built environment that we are interested in is not purely morphological. It is rather an investigation into the intrinsic topology of nature, and its underlying processes. The interest lies in where we find the potential for inherent properties to become relevant towards architectural, spatial, material, tectonic, functional and programmatic characteristics.

Jordan has a unique diversity of ecologies of which several are considered extremes of natural and organic phenomena. These include the Wadi Rum desert, and Rose-Red city of Petra; both of which are UNESCO world-heritage sites; which we investigated in our 2014 programme. Additionally, the hyper saline Dead Sea, which is the lowest point on Earth, investigated in 2015. Finally, the distinct coral reefs of the Red Sea with numerous endemic corals and marine specicies; 2016 respectively.

This catalogue documents an array of architecturally projects which illustrate the transfiguration from natural phonemena through design-research to architectural and urban interventions.

Our methods included digital sculpting, associative modeling, scripting and coding.

The resultant projects varied in scale, function and design methodology based on the offered units. It is evident that scale becomes an inter-changeable driver; on one hand the phenomena appeared at different scales, while on another, it could be regenerated at another multitude of scales.

Our programme is setup to include design units, specialist seminars, a travel component, in addition to a series of events including guests. Our faculty operate in diverse backgrounds, disciplines and cities around the world. The disciplines they work within include, but not limited to: Architecture, Structural Engineering, Façade Engineering, Industrial Design, Urban Design, Fashion and Jewelry Design within practice and academia. They operate in cities including Vienna, Los Angeles, Amman, Beirut, London, Salzburg and Berlin. We also include local and international guests to inspire us and think beyond our traditional boundaries.

Similarly our participants join us from all around the world; over three years we have had 100+ participants from 25+ countries, coming from diverse educational and professional backgrounds, taking part in a distinct experience, to develop cutting-edge work, and form long-lasting relationships.

We have been fortunate to have local and international partners, supporters and sponsors, listed at the end of this document.

In geology, ripple marks are sedimentary structures made of sand and indicate agitation by water or wind. When moved by the wind, the grains of sand bounces along the ground through a process called saltation. The distance from one ripple to the next is related to the distance grains are splashed, which in turn is related to grain size and wind speed.

TESTING MODEL

A conceptual physical model made of layers of foam board stimulates the behavior of the rocks when interacting with external factors. The addition of a chemical (spray paint) interacted with the model in a similar way. the parameters taken into consideration are: materiality, distance, amount of spray paint, repetitivity, angle, and die-cut.

Architectural Branching

The first stage in our research was to choose one of the corals existing in aqaba –red sea . our research focused on the branching coral species: Fan coral , Violet Stylaster , Feather Duster Warm and Kenya tree coral capnella.

In the second stage ,The study aimed to understand the different characteristics of each coral and the hierarchal and the growth structural process.

Using Autodesk Maya , corals were modeled individually , then after creating different generations of each system , the four systems were combined in one model to create useable architectural space with special experience qualities benefiting from the volumetric and hierarchal analysis of the branching systems. The architectural space is linked to the main land and contains : awareness center, gallery, three laboratories , meditation and resting areas, coral farms and garden.

Extraterrestrial Interventions Saturday 1 – Monday 10 July 2017 The Wadi Rum Desert, located at the southern edge of Jordan encapsulates the utmost outstanding resemblance of an ecology on Earth to Planet Mars.

Throughout the design-research workshop, participants will investigate design concepts for potential interventions within the Martian landscape, speculating on design that derives from research into the natural ecology of Mars; further aided by a research visit to Wadi Rum – to serve as a proving ground. The programme will focus on utilizing algorithmic and computational design methods, unveiling novel potentials in design at an array of different scales from the material, architectural to the urban.

The ten-day programme will bring together a network of distinguished international faculty and guests to offer designresearch units, specialist software tutorials and a guest-lecture series; the programme will be primarily based in Amman, and will include an exclusive visit to the UNESCO protected worldheritage site of the Wadi Rum desert.
