This is an architecture portfolio by Razan Fawzi Alnahar, a recent graduate in Architectural Engineering from the University of Jordan. It presents selected academic and personal projects that reflect her design approach, problem-solving skills, and visual communication abilities as she begins her professional career.
The portfolio opens with a personal introduction and a resume page listing skills in software such as Sketchup, Revit, Autocad, D5render, Enscape, Lumion, and Adobe Suite. It also includes education details, internship experience at Yazeed and Farah Architects in Jordan, and a D5 Render Community certification.
A table of contents outlines six projects: The Healing Frame (graduation project), Boutique Hotel, Adaptive Reuse Research Center, Plant Research and Innovation Center of Excellence, Academic and Innovation Hub, and Souq Aljumaa Revitalization, plus a visualisation section.
The first featured project, The Healing Frame, is a 2026 graduation project located in Aqaba, Jordan. It is a sensory release center designed as a non-clinical retreat that responds to psychological pressures of urban life, integrating the landscape of Aqaba mountains, desert, and Red Sea through natural materials, controlled views, daylight, water, and texture.
The portfolio includes context analysis for the Aqaba site, discussing its geographical setting at the northern tip of the Red Sea, accessibility via airport and road connections, and its position within Jordan's tourism network as part of the Golden Triangle with Petra and Wadi Rum.
The design process for The Healing Frame is documented through morphology studies showing how the initial mass acts as a filter between desert environment and interior, with strategic carving for sheltered spaces and a vertical sequence moving users from stimulation to calm.
