Landscape and/or urban context of your case

• Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
• you can keep this short
• Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

• 
  Understanding the Context, Concept Map

What are the objectives of your design?

- Preserving ecology by establishing a green network - landscape, making possible a link through Amman using native plants-awareness of sustainability and quality of life.

- Implement sustainable design approaches for creating the green network by using the obtainable resources and easily maintainable bridges that allows future modification.

- Re-define the term Public Space in a society that the term is only relating to shopping malls and very few parks.

- Promote the green network as a major element in developing renewable energy (natural cooling systems and green –courtyards- platforms).

- Enriching the image of the city for pedestrians, by encouraging the safe crossing through an attractive experience.

- Consolidate the fragility in East and West Amman by creating a perceptual correlation due to the green overhead bridges network.

Analytical drawings

Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.

Projective drawings

Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes), of course with an emphasis on planting design/vegetation aspects. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing representing his/her individual ideas.

Design Synthesis

Please analyse the individual approaches presented so far and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses (you may use the SWOTanalysis model). Try to create a synthesis and represent it with a plan and some sketches. You can still use drawings/sketches.

Summary of the collaborative process

Please reflect on your collaborative design process. Which potentials have you encountered? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).

Image Gallery

You may add a series of images/photos in addition to the sketches/drawings
