Brief About The Project: 

The building is a museum and a research center which serves the needs of the Jordanian community including raising awareness of the youth by creating a walk-in experience in a high sloped site through a zigzag path (energy path) that describes the history of the earth and the journey of energy evolution. Having access to advanced technologies that widens the scope of generating energy through our resources in Jordan. The path leads to the top of the building which is a panoramic point that shows what was left of the forests in Amman. The building is recessed into the site itself and has stepped green roofs which gives the look of the original site and the feeling of continuity to the forest.
