Client: Greater Amman Municipality
Location: Amman
Area: 20,000 m2
Year: 1997/ 2009
The challenge was to create an architectural language for a building that represents the city of Amman; a structure that comfortably sits in its context without competing with its surrounding. The GAM building is part of a comprehensive masterplan for Ras Al Ain area designed in 1997. A new two-floor extension was added in 2009.

A more fragmented approach was adopted. Three separate buildings sit on a large podium. The podium acts as an urban space connecting two adjacent streets as well as a meeting ground for people coming from all directions.
The main building takes a concave shape embracing the plaza and the oval-shaped theatre, with a long crack that allows people to penetrate the compound without entering the building itself.

The supreme court is one of the city’s most prominent buildings. The design consists of three main elements:
Location: Madaba
Area: 700 m2
Year: 2010
A sensitive approach was taken for this delicate, historical site. The design proposes a light weight roofed steel structure sheltering traces of an existing byzantine church with rich mosaics. The steel columns sit on the ruin’s original stone pillars.
