The Amman Nature Center is being constructed for the Royal Society for
the Conservation of Nature, funded by the USAID, as an urban destination
for explaining the concept of nature conservation and promoting related
craft projects.
With
its dramatic location with a commanding view of downtown Amman, the
building and its site are working together to create a complete experience
based on the visible dialogue between the natural and built environment.
This
is one of Jordan’s few projects in which the site and the building co-exist,
without one dominating the other.
This
building takes into consideration environmental and ecological issues,
as well as incorporating interactive, interpretive function and community
participation.
