‫ﻓﺮﺻﺔ‬



‫" ﻓﺮﺻﺔ‬Fursa" is a women's opportunity center located in the heart of Amman. The project consists of a (Poli�cal/Cultural

Saloon),a (day/night) school for adult women, library, bazaar and a public space with shops & cafes to revive the Omar Al Khayyam Street.


EXISTING

The aim of the project was To create a space where women are able to par�cipate in serious topics, to gain knowledge, experience and educa�on in order to benefit the local community and the economy regardless of their social status and economic situa�on. All 4 buildings were joined together either through Internal or external connec�ons and were given a direct connec�on with the street.

PROPOSED


Conceptual drawings showcasing the quality of spaces in the project.

I was inspired from Omar Al-Khayyam Street when choosing the colour pallete (Gray, Beige and Copper as the dominant colours). And materials used( concrete, Metal, Wood), and how they join with each other.

ENTRANCE


My design strategy was to emphasize communica�on and transi�on between spaces. And how to combine all five func�ons into a single interconnected project. I wanted my spaces to be a reflec�on of the current architecture and embrace it rather than hiding it.

CAFE


CAFE In my project I aimed to maximize the use of natural ligh�ng either through enlarging the exis�ng windows, adding skylights or by adding a see through mesh which added shade but maintained the visual connec�on through spaces.

LIBRARY


STRAND



This project is an adap�ve reuse project for a building in Jabal Amman named Strand which was a hotel/bar 20 years ago. The aim of my design to let the community of Jabal Amman take an ac�ve part in this hotel. i wanted my hotel to act as a community center and i wanted the visitors to experience the Jordanian community.

PLANS


I started thinking about what i like most about the community of Amman which is portrayed in the posters, a�er analyzing these posters I came up with a sketch model that i put in the site, and that made me understand the distribu�on of spaces in the site. Then, I came up with the design that consists of few boxes connected together in the sketch model, Represen�ng the way the community is connected together. these boxes are the rooms of the hotel and the connec�on is the bridge that link between the rooms.

!!!‫أريحىل‬

Because the budget of Jabal Amman's ci�zens does not allow them to enjoy and experience public spaces such as this hotel. Therefore, I made the roo�op a place where the community could use and be entertained in. hence, i built a cafeteria , a miniature basketball court and si�ng areas with fire pits in the center so people sit and spend their �me there, for a small amount of money. What helped strengthen my concept is the old structure of the building that had to be demolished. Because, i could build flou�ng rooms using cables. therefore, when you first enter the hotel you will see how the rooms are connected together by bridges, cables, plumbing and neon lights. Also, the 3 buildings of the site are connected by bridges. Just like the connec�on between community members.

This was an entry for a JIDA “Jordanian Interior Design Associa�on” compe��on. which was between all the universi�es in Jordan, in which I won the 1st place.

Requirements: Built up area between 80 and 100 squared meters in a 8m*8m*6m Space with a program of a kitchen, dining space, living space, bedroom and a bathroom . and this program was distributed in an open space with each on a separate level, and by this i achieved the privacy and emphasized each part. I’ve used the contrast between striking dark red on the ceilings and the dull concrete finish on the walls to showcase this idea.


PLANS


BUILDING B



NORTH ELEVATION We were asked to redesign the landscape surrounding building B in GJU’s campus in Madaba. This Design was based on low water consump�on and minimal coasts, we used local vegeta�on and efficient ground covers. The Design includes a small res�ng area for studying and large gathering area for student ac�vi�es. We u�lized the building’s exis�ng linear form as a linear structure to create a similar grid for the landscape.

This is an installa�on that studies the materials behavior, its a mesh that coats a flexible structure which is a combina�on of the intersec�on of two square grids forming a triangular one. The mesh is organic, stable, adap�ve and malleable, while the triangle structure is less malleable and flexible in shape. we've studied the mesh’s behavior and s�mulated it on grasshopper.

FINAL OUTCOME


VILLA HANOUSH



These are some of the renderings that I made during my local internship in Amman, at the summer of 2015 at Goussous & partners Engineering Bureau. I’ve worked on several projects, A villa which these renders are from, The Mexican Embassy and a mansion.
