Located in Palestine, on the cliffs of Ramallah. A school of arts was requested to be designed and proposed a design that will present the Palestinian culture and history.

So, we thought of the local woven fabrics and used the shape in the design of the plan taking into consideration the different levels of the natural land, while maintaining as much as possible of the shape of the real ground, in order to achieve a greener design.

While utilizing the natural resources of the area.

Using the main concept of the woven fabrics in the plans had to be reflected in one way or another on the facades themselves.

The outdoor Amphitheatre was carved into the natural contour lines in order to make use of the sloping lands and was partly hidden under the building itself to provide some protection.
