Project Description:
2007 - The German Jordanian University is considered to be of a unique contemporary architectural design adding a significant landmark to the city of Madaba. As the name suggests, the concept was generated from combining two cultures in one urban context.
This approach inspired a design based on Interactive Duality, between the Jordanian and German cultures within this academic and cultural urban institution, which consists of various buildings, courts, and halls, reflecting its continuous evolution and growth. Moreover, the urban planning of the University came within the concepts of sustainable architecture and conserving the environment. The master plan design also incorporated the orientation of the colleges to allow privacy and distinct identity for each of the buildings.
