Cover Letter Actually I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, all I wanted is to work with machines, but after they told me about art and architecture, I was really convinced about the idea of art, what really art is and what can we come up with art and everything we do is art. After that I joined the school of architecture and the rerults were amazing, now I can feel what art is, I designed a lot and won a lot. Now I have new goals to achieve, they journey has begun. I'm currently a graduate student from the German Jordanian University with a bachelor degree of Art and Architecture. During my studies, I awoke special interest in housing designs and office building designs, what made me to go further, investigating more about development of new constructions designs, and tools in order to facilitate and enable the technological advancement of the design and building performance, which reflected in my academic designs. This interest was also a result in my portfolio, where I designed many complexes and office buildings . During my academic journey, I went to a lot of countries and cities, I saw the diversity in architecture in different cities, how they design their buildings referring on a different factors. Every city has its own image, own techniques and own factors, what really made the architecture to go on a certain direction, this is the challenge I’m looking for here in Jordan, how to shape our direction in architecture, we very huge diversity here in Jordan in different ways and the styles are the same, we have a lot of factors we can use to deliver the best architectural value in our country. When I came back to Jordan in 2016, after whole year was spent in Germany with practicing architecture, I really wanted to know what really architecture is, and how we can use it to serve the people, after we are getting through here in Jordan, we as architects have to play a big role to make difference. This was reflected on my graduation project, where I designed something for the people not for me, this is my reason why I love Architecture; because when I design, I don’t design for myself , I design for the people, they will experience my spaces, not me! Now I finished my bachelor degree in architecture, I must say I’ve never felt so motivated after what I did in my academic journey, while now I’m getting ready to enter the real life experience. Furthermore, I strongly believe that my qualifications, the combination of the skills described above, my motivation to acquire deep knowledge and expertise in architecture, and my interest in for designing new methods will benefit and enrich the program. Fellow students and professors. Thank you for considering my application, I am looking forward to enter the program. Yours faithfully, Hussein Al-Telawy.

Concept:
This is a closed compound, and The main idea is how to Arrange the buildings and to Create the biggest possible Courtyard in the middle of the Project. The arrangement of the Buildings is based on the " u " Shaped, because the "u" shape Allows to create a main courtyard and closed from 3 sides. The idea of the design is to Create a new experience for The users in the living space and away from the typical house floors considering the privacy, using the method of split levels in each unit. Each zone in the unit has different levels; because I believe the zoning in the units would had an interesting experience for the users in moving through different levels.

Area : 8200 m2 Program : • 8 small size untis in one building (80m2 studios) • 10 medium size untis(120m2 units) • 6 Big Size Units (160m2 Untis) • Commercial Part (Around 450m2) • Gym And Car Parking
Concept This is another housing project, but this one is different, because the planning is based on the theories of modernity. Going back to the heroes of modenity, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Adolf Loos. These architects broke the box shape and improved the idea of the open plan, which are the main elements of this project. Each size units has a different planning, but the entire project has the same architectural language. The "U" shape was the perfect Solution to arrange the buildings, because it gives the biggest courtyard area and privacy that can serve the users of this closed complex. The commercial part is on the main street and the medium-size units are on the top of it, and there are no connection between them. Each unit in the project has a different view to the main two courtyards.
GYM
The Site Has 44-49% Slop, Which Was The challenge to design the suitable and comfortable circulation between the buildings and the courtyards.

Rethinking Ammani Stairwell (Daraj Al Balad)
Rethinking Ammani Stairwell (Daraj Al Balad)
Third Year Projects.
This project was how to apply one of the contemporary architecture genres on a existing historical project in Amman. This is one of the historical stairs in Amman, it connects between two main zones in the city, unfortunately it was turned in to dump and the people are rejecting it, no one use it, Everybody says : "its too high and we can't use is in the summer". This Project Was How To Understand The Meaning Of "Environmental Architecture", and how It can be applied on this project so this project could be returned to its public use. * The pergolas were the best solution for the sun ray; because the stairs were on the south elevation which has the most sun exposure. At the top of them, sun cells are applied so we can gain energy to light the stairs * At the first part i put some small kiosks so the people could get some benefits. * To change the main stairs experience, some concrete benches were put on the sides, so the circulation would be non- liner (zigzag).

Area : 2400 m2 Built up area : 1450 m2 This is an office building project, the function is: bank headquarters. The site is located in one of the most dynamic economic regions in Amman, jordan.
Project Description: The site is located on the gate of this economic area. Next to the site there is a high rise buildin (as a site existing), as a result of this high dynamic area, especially at the gate of it, the forms of the buildings are getting more dynamic. The concept of this project was affected by the site, so the form is being broken into four masses (2 high rise and 2 low rise) and a pathway between them, contrary the opposite project (1 big high rise and 1 big low rise). Each 2 buildings (1 low rise and 1 high rise), has a bridge that connects between them from each floor.
Design statement :
The separation of the masses through an indoor pathway while keeping them connected.

The cores of the buildings only exist in the high rise part, So if the user wants to go the low rise building, he must go to the high rise and then he uses the bridge to go to his destination. This all part of the experience. But all the

Private House Landscape Design Page 30
Private House Landscape Design Site area : 2850 m2 Built up area : 470 m2 This is a private villa, which exist in a hot area. Which means the number of shading elements will increase as you can see the number of the pergolas. The fruitful trees exists at the south area, because it has the most sun exposure. Italian cypress and atlas cedar are used to cover the house surroundings .

Public Park Landscape Design Page 32
Public Park Landscape Design Area : 5710 M2 Location: Downtown Amman
"Experiencing the styles of landscape" The location of the site was the main issue in this project, It is located in downtown Amman, It is in the center of the city were all kind of people gather. Also many shops and markets are around the site, so the issue here is how to collect all kind of people to this park (Project). The main concept is to divide the site into 3 main parts, each part has its own style of landscape, in this case people will divide them self into these parts and everyone will head to the part that he likes. Each part is isolated by a group of trees, and the transmission between parts is very simple.

Munich Fair - Farbe, Ausbau und Fassade The Harmony of the facade elements Le Corbusier, Villa Citrohan 1920
Fourth Year Projects.
The definition of the facades is changing throw time, when we go back to the modernity period, the big architects are defining the facade within its clarity and simplicity. But the definition now is different, more elements are integrating in the facade, and the concept of the clear smooth facade is disappearing, these small elements (lights bulbs, mail box,...) are affecting the beauty of the facade.
Winning a competition in our university qualified us to be In this project, we are trying to integrate these small elements a part in Munich Fair, studying how the big architects into the facade in a way that the facade still in its own harmony from the modernity period defined their own clear smooth facades either from material or color wize. and clarity.

This is a Re-Design project, that means, this is an old ofďŹ ce building in the city of Berlin and the project is to transform this ofďŹ ce building into a residential building depending on the theory of Vertical city. The challenge in this project is to maintain the old structural system and try to design some kind of spaces and volumes that the users of this building get beneďŹ ts of using this vertical city. The project is located in a very busy part in Berlin and near the high way, the transformation was depending on how to convert the old bulky form into more lively form (lusty)

They are imprisoning themselves in a huge bubble, and they don't want to go out!.
The site is located in the heart of Amman, the site is in between two major elements in Amman, the historic image of the Hara in Amman, with the beautiful cluster houses, facing the huge Buildings of GAM.
A bright future is waiting for them, this is the challenge I wanted to take, I want to design something that they can use and improve their skills, something that can get them out of the bubble and experience life.
For some reasons the residents of the old neighbourhood are afraid to go down to the cultural strip, they even don't know if there is a museum or not!. As you can see the left images are describing the gathering points in the empty pockets in the mountain and how they interact with them as a base points.

The Key
We all are the same, but this type of people are living in front of GAM, and GAM are not doing anything to improve the quality of life is the area, they are improving only the upper classes.

Other Works
This project was a part of an Apartment building, and there is an outdoor Corridor that leads to the Apartments. The Project was to design vertical louvers and away from the traditional fixed louvers, that can serve the users blocking the direct sun light. So the idea is to design vertical Mechanical louvers that moves by an engine that can be moved within the sun light direction through different times of the day. And to make it more useful, solar panels was applied on the louvers so it can absorb the sun light. In this case the mechanical louvers follow the sun light to get more sun light. *Rhinoceros 5.0

But each proposal had its own weakness. The best solution was on this way: in the morning the louvers are fixed on angle 45 and moving to angle 90 at the evening.
