  • This picture was taken in Jabal Amman in Jordan (31°57'03.1"N 35°55'39.2"E). It symbolizes the Urban sprawl in correspondence to the culture.The habitat clustered units reflect the social intimacy of a local Ammani society,simultaneously the openings within each building maintain a level of privacy and territoriality which originates from the Arab and the Islamic traditions, and since this was our faculty (Architecture) view it was perceived also as an educational symbol.

  • This picture was taken in Jabal Alweibdeh in Amman (31°57'35.3"N 35°54'41.6"E ). From my perspective, this picture has a religious and a socio-cultural symbolic meaning; the religious symbols can be seen in the Christian cross on a church and the crescent on the minaret of a Muslim mosque. The socio-cultural meaning can be perceived by the viewer according to the religious symbolism appearance; in which it emphasizes on the peaceful coexistence between the two religions in Jordan.

  • This is the World's oldest purpose-built Christian church is in Aqaba, Jordan. Built in 293, and pre-dates the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Jerusalem, Palestine and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. During the excavations which were held by Prof.Dr.Thomas Parker(NCSU) many evidences of the succession of civilizations in the area have been revealed, increasing the importance of the site in the eyes of the responsible governments after having it abandoned and covered with sand for more than 150 years, now a new Archaeological conservation plan is in process (by ASEZA) to promote it as a historical site with respect to educational, religious, cultural and social aspects. And i would like to inform you that this was my graduation project thesis, and i am contributing as well in the conservation plan and design.(29°32'01.3"N 34°59'57.3"E)

  • For me this picture is where a lot of symbolism appear. This is a Jordanian flag, located near a public park, which has a political and patronic symbol to the visitors and since it rises 127 meter on a hill,it can be seen almost from everywhere in Amman, so this symbolism is spread all aroud the city. The Flag itself have different symbolic meanings; and this can be noticed with the different colors used in the Flag's design, these are the Pan-Arab Colors, representing the Abbasid (black band), Umayyad (white band), and Fatimid (green band) caliphates. The red chevron is for the Hashemite dynasty, and the Arab Revolt.
