Brief About The Project: 

The project came to be the first interactive, technology, sustainable public library in Jordan to serve all segments of society and reflect the cultural aspect of it, and the first sustainable public library in the Arab world.
The design is based on two basic criteria:
1*context-due to the importance of the site located in the heart of New Amman, So we tried to link the old and new downtown through contemporary sustainable design in the spirit of the past.
2* users-topography was employed to create a unique and enjoyable motion experience for users, in addition to Lighting factor and outdoor reading experience to interact with nature.
