This document is the professional portfolio of Sadan Al Tarawneh, an architect from Amman, Jordan. It opens with a summary of his software skills, including AutoCAD, Revit, 3D Max, Sketchup, and visualization tools, as well as personal strengths like communication and teamwork. It also lists his education, a Bachelor’s in Architectural Engineering from Al Hussein Technical University, and his work experience at two architecture firms in Jordan.
The portfolio then introduces six projects: a children’s cancer recovery center, an urban park, a residential complex, a hospital, a dormitory, and a military base. The first project, Shams Children’s Cancer Recovery Center, is described in detail as the graduation project. It is located on the Dead Sea in Jordan and designed as an end-of-cancer-journey care center, with a holistic approach that combines medical care with emotional healing.
The Shams center is presented with a site design process, a form concept inspired by the Hero’s Journey, and a structural concept using a central core and rotating slabs. The document includes floor plans, zoning diagrams, and technical drawings that show the layout of clinics, therapy rooms, patient pods, and family areas across multiple levels. The design narrative explains how patients progress upward through stages of healing, ending at the top floor.
Exterior and interior views of the Shams center are shown, with descriptions of fluid, layered forms, water elements, and terraces that create a calm, nature-connected environment. The project is inspired by a story called The Journey of the Little Stars, which frames the healing process as a journey of courage and hope. The portfolio concludes with this first project, leaving the other listed projects for later pages.
