While the general public in Jordan agrees on the importance of helping out its neighboring countries, most choose to keep the issue at arm’s length, adopting the stance of mere spectators; taking no real action for engagement, understanding, or involvement in the process of receiving, accepting and working for the betterment of refugee lives.
This dichotomy ignited our interest to pursue a research study to address this phenomenon and validate it through architectural framework and urbanism.
Simultaneously, this circulation of large groups of people has also prompted growing inequalities for them, kept in perilous states of transit. The line between permanent inhabitance and spatial belonging has become blurred, giving rise to questions regarding the definition of home, attachment and social identity.
As a team, we strongly believe in the necessity for a public platform that opens the door for debate, promotes integration and coalition, and seeks similarities and mutual benefit instead of singling out those who have undergone traumas that we can no longer choose to give our disregard to.
Consequently, an architectural installation that aims at addressing this phenomenon in Amman metropolitan area and triggers awareness, understanding and proper implementation of the best architectural tools is the reason why we are submitting this Pavilion to Amman Greater Municipality.
This Pavilion propagates a twofold understanding in design and mediates between its technical/architectural, and social/political aspects, which will serve our concerns immensely and help us develop more ways to counter this crisis.
The wall, that reflects the struggle of refugees, it will be made out of translucent concrete. The choice of this material comes as a response to the Syrian struggle.
By looking at the wall from a distance, it will look fragile and unclear, however, when the user gets closer, it will look clear enough that it is concrete - giving the sense of stability and strength and thats the exact same paradoxical nature of Refugees.
Participants will be interested to show their silhouette to others and become part of this structure in solidarity with the current situation.
The sunken plaza can be accessed through a sloping platform that directs participants by separating the levels of movement.
The canopy and the sunken plaza beneath it, works as social medium that will unite people. This space will be generated through water.
When water starts falling down from the canopy (through electronic censors), it will create three elevations for the sunken plaza.
It will allow the observer from outside to see participants inside as one and in constant motion due to the dynamic nature of running water. This will not only symbolize how we are united, but will also enhance the experience and invite people to interact with the wall and be a part of it.
This pavilion can be located in the three major sites selected and will need a 30x60 space to properly deliver the experience.
