Blossom, or "Izdihar" in Arabic is the name of the project in a course called "Strategic Planning". Me & my teammates chosed to work on my project out of the Architectual zone, "Strategic" perspective, so we proved how could this Souq really achieve the "Socioeconomic" concept.

Project description: The project aims to design a commercial building vegetable souq) in Irbid down town. Project site located on the existing vegetable souq irbid down town. The existing one is a temproy building the municicibality has to rebuild it because the existing one is very weak and needed a lot of development. So to meet the city needs of a building with high quality vegetable souq, parking, community space for the public to spend afternoon and night times and the needs for offices with other function swhich will rase the quality of the live in this important space of the city.
On a sketchday for the concept, we tried to put lines that solves spaces issues "will be explained on site", so we chosed Richard Meier as a role model Architect by following his principles in spaces solutions.
The project located in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, in the old down town as one of the oldest Souqs in Irbid, Site weaknesses are in non usesing spaces in Souq which creat the noise of crowded area
"Basta" is the meaning of the Souq, it's where vegetable seller put his ware This is the usually unit used for vegetable souqs in middle east & Jordan especially, and it's made of wood.
The Design follows to not waste spaces by creating 7 floors as a Mixed Use Building. Starting with 3 underground floors Basment as a Parking, The GF & 1st as a Souq, 2nd & 3rd as an offices
The main courtyard is to avoid the crowded noises surrounded the Souq
The Connection between floors depends on what should be connected and not, and that's clear in the Vertical Circulation.
