Amman, Jordan

Project Architect: Tala Alhaj
The MMAG Foundation offers space for the exhibition and production of art. Greenwood Barton Architects and AAU Anastas are appointed to develop a brief, a masterplan and provide initial designs for the foundation’s campus in Jabal Amman.
The site of the foundation is on a hill between two streets. Buildings which were historically separate are connected by a patchwork of uneven terraces and earthy banks.
A new horizontal connection approximately halfway between the two streets, navigates changes in level from South East to North West, following a topographical logic which makes Villas Shams Al Dein, Abu Al Huda, Kawar and the Kawar office building accessible along the same transversal path.
