02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB Design 4 studio project – Individual Work Location: Irbid, Jordan Year: 2025 Research, Concept design, spatial development, Integrated design.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB The Fabrication Lab & Innovation Center is rooted in the concept of “Human Core”, focusing on the human being as the central driver of creativity, making, and innovation. The project explores how architecture can respond to human needs, skills, and interaction, transforming the building into a living environment where ideas are generated, tested, and produced through direct engagement with space and tools. The concept emphasizes the connection between mind, hand, and material as the essence of the design process.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB The spatial organization supports the idea of connection between mind, hand, and material as the essence of the design process, by creating flexible, interconnected zones for fabrication, research, and collaboration, allowing users to actively shape and evolve the space. Transparency, openness, and visual connectivity reinforce the human-centered approach, making the act of “making” visible and accessible. The result is an innovation hub that places the human experience at its core, both physically and conceptually.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB This section shows the integration between the experience flow with the sustainable solution (wind tower). That supports the idea of connection between the user & its surroundings , nature and built up area.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB The structural wall functions as a multifunctional environmental element, integrating a wind-catcher system and a green wall to promote natural ventilation, improve thermal comfort, and enhance the building’s environmental performance.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB It also incorporates photovoltaic cells for renewable energy generation, while integrating the circulation system within the wall to create a functional connection between movement, structure, and sustainable design.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB Environmental Systems design is a combination between passive design (wind catcher) that depend on nature in its performance and the building services system (Hvac , MEP , smart building systems, etc.)
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB HVAC SYSTEM DETAILS provides efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to maintain thermal comfort and good indoor air quality throughout the building.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB The plan was designed to articulate the integration of experiential flow with the surrounding context, expressed through a gradual transition from void to solid. This spatial progression reinforces the connection between the user and their environment, fostering a seamless dialogue between the context and the built form.
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB
02 INNOVATION CENTER & FABLAB Circulation system diagram The circulation system was developed as an architectural interpretation of the human core, a central entity through which values, ethics, and standards are absorbed from the surrounding context and community, then reflected and adapted within one’s identity. Embodying honesty, clarity, and creativity, this idea is integrated into the building’s primary core, where the main services are concentrated, allowing the core to serve both functionally and symbolically as the heart of the project.

03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM Design 3 studio project – Individual work Location: Jerash, Jordan Year: 2024 Research, Concept design, spatial development, Integrated design.
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM Located in Jerash, a city deeply rooted in historical layers and collective memory, the museum is conceived as a spatial journey through remembrance, experience, and emotional reconstruction. The project explores the relationship between memory and architecture, translating the intangible nature of human recollection into a physical sequence of spaces that guide visitors through a narrative of discovery and reflection. Project overview
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM The architectural concept is driven by a curvilinear journey that symbolizes the path of memory. Visitors begin their experience within the most solid and grounded areas of the site, representing tangible history and documented events. As they move through the museum, spaces gradually transform toward a central void—the climax of the journey—where memory shifts from physical reality into an intangible and emotional presence. This void acts as a space of contemplation, evoking nostalgia and emphasizing the blurred boundary between lived experience and remembered imagination. Project Concept
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM Structural system design
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM Reading the project from its center outward begins with a void, representing how the mind does not always distinguish reality from imagination, before gradually reconnecting with the solid lines rooted in the site itself. Through two immersive circulation journeys revolving around suspended and preserved elements, the project explores nostalgia not as remembering the past, but as reliving emotions and moments as if they had never really left us.
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM The journey can be interpreted in reverse, reflecting the cyclical nature of memory itself. From the intangible realm of nostalgia, visitors are drawn back toward the physicality of the site, re-engaging with history as though reliving it.
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM Through this dual reading, the museum creates a continuous dialogue between past and present, reality and perception, permanence and impermanence.
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM Rooted in the cultural and historical significance of Jerash, the project seeks to preserve not only artifacts and narratives, but also the emotional essence of memory, transforming the museum into an immersive architectural experience where visitors actively reconnect with history through space, movement, and atmosphere.
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM
03 JERASH HERITAGE MUSEUM This project extends the Cultural Pavilion journey, with both projects facing each other and connected through Al-Hashemiyah Plaza, creating a continuous relationship between the two experiences, while the project is still evolving digitally, I wanted its submission to carry a more tactile and personal experience through a manual presentation approach

04 AL-RAMTHA URBAN CORRIDOR Morphology concept The design translates the abstract journey of scientific breakthroughs into tangible spatial forms, utilizing a volumetric contrast between compression and sudden release. By mapping the flow of human Curiosity as it transitions into Knowledge, the architecture acts as a filtration and amplification system. Volumes are organically segmented and layered to manage energy—both literal and intellectual—creating a hyper-dynamic innovation district where privacy and collaborative exposure exist in a balanced, high-intensity state.

The building acts as a dynamic system that adapts through three operational modes, subtly shifting its form and spatial experience in response to movement, energy needs, and user interaction. By day, it serves as a focused research environment for specialists; by night, circulation and access reconfigure, transforming the platform into a temporary exhibition space that invites the wider community to experience science as a shared cultural presence rather than a hidden discipline. 04 AL-RAMTHA URBAN CORRIDOR
