Third Year ProjectsOffice building Project
Project DefinitionThe principle rationale of the project is to
challenge the current discourse and to research and design alternatives to the
current prevaling office building design in Amman. The design
depends on the environment responsive and localization, with some global solutions
addressing on some objectives.
Design StatmentThis project aims to create a space that
improves social interactions between collegues and users through open public spaces and feeling comfortable with the
facilities provided, and it aims to serve the residential area.

I provided the o�ce building with multiple personal care spaces such as resturants,
terraces, library and soft areas (to maintain a social bond with each other)
The o�ce building design was based
on the consideration of respecting the
surrounding residential buildings as also the surrounding o�ce buildings.

Third Year ProjectsResidential Project
Project DefinitionThe task was to design a dwelling space
which consists of 22 units and a commercialstrip in front of it. The location of the site
was “Wadi Saqra” which is one of severalravines in Amman. The design had to be
driven and inspired by one of the Agendas of the Modernity period.
Design StatmentThis project aims to create a space that
improves quality of living through social equityand elements that imphasis social interactions
through communal space.

Design Statment
This project aims to explore the different of post modernity genres
(meaning and relationships).This project took place in Jabal Amman
with it’s traditional buildings and this project made a contrast with
the old traditionnal Jabal Amman houses and this post modernity
book shop.Aside from the everyday issues and
problems in our perspictive cities,this project generate new theoritical
and practical meaning.

Instructor: Rana ZuraikatParametric Shading Device
Project DefinitionThis project is about a parametric shading element. Taking into consideration the sun angle using voronoi equations with a jitter factor randomizing a cloud of points with a density based on the amount of sunlight.
The shading element is made up of two different systems, one for the roofing system
and the other is for the sides.(Group project)

Attractor point
The diagrams below show different alterations showing the changes in the form. The domain slider controls the density of the voronoi web and the jitter slider controls
how the voronoi web is affected by the atractor points. The system is
made up of two seperate sliders. Finally the pipe was added to the outcome web with a radius slider. For the optimization process, the mesh shadow was added to show how affective the element is.

Instructor: Rana zuraikatSnow Flakes
Project Definition
This project is about exploring a unit and understanding the meaning of this unit as a
part of a composite whole.A bottom-up approach is the piecing
together of system to give rise to more complex systems, thus making the original
systems sub-systems of the emergent system.(group project)
Third Year Projects
We began with the basic shape of a snow flake as our primary unit. snow flakes come in a variety of size and shapes. complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through different temperature and humidity regimes, such as individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure.
We created more than one prototype and then wechose the unit that worked best, After we chose the basic shape of the unit.

Site planThis task was to design a dwelling space
for the German Jordanian University staff . The program included three different
types of housing units. The location of the site was “Daheet Al
Yasmeen” which is between both campuses of German Jordanian
University (Madaba and Jabal Amman)
Design StatmentThis project aims to create a space that
connect both Madaba and Jabal Amman German Jordanian University staff members through communal spaces and a spine that
connects the three different types of units with each other.

Third Year ProjectsThird Year ProjectsDocumentation Project Instructor: Tala Awadalla
Project DefinitionThis project aims to improve our skills in
measuring and manual drawing. We had to apply these
skills to an existent old house.The house is located in “Bader Al deen thatha” Street, and it was built by the
architect “Jalel Ajha” for MR “Abdalqader Tash”
Traditional architecture basically is the ability to construct or built any structure
following cultural aspects and regulations; it also refers to cultural
buildings - such as religious temmples or royal palaces.
