Jordan Architect to Deliver Lecture on "Nature as an Architect"

LUCA, the Luxembourg Centre for Architecture, and AACE, the Arabic Association for Cultural Exchange, are organising a lecture entitled "Nature as an Architect" by Jordan architect Ammar Khammash, on Thursday 16 November 2017 at 19:00 as part of "101 Arabian Nights" and takes place at the Auditorium du Carré

Nature is often an influencer in the world of architecture, known as biomimicry, in the sense that biomimetic designs reflect the natural world. From hospitality to education, residential to the public sector, Ammar Khammash uses earthly materials sourced from surrounding environments.

"Our slogan is that the site is the architect", stated the architect and, who not only shapes his buildings around the environmental conditions, but also around social matters such as traditional building methods and employing many people from the region.
 
Ammar Khammash started in the late 1980s. Early projects of his focused on restoration and renovation of historic sites as well as interventions within cultural and natural heritage. He then became involved in numerous projects in Jordan, Oman, Palestine, Egypt, Syria and the UAE.

The programme "101 Arabian Nights" has been developed with the financial support of the Oeuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte (mateneen call for projects).
