With all the turmoils going on around these days, whether on a regional level or a local one, I find it hard to write something positive even though I promised 5hadz last year to write something so about Jordan this time .
So I decided to shed some light on the concept of green architecture by posting a video. Actually, I believe that if the Nile was God's gift to Egypt for real, then passive solar design is definitely his gift to Jordan. By simply positioning the buildings in the right direction, and installing cheap shades, we can save up to 60% of our energy bills. It is that simple. No need for futuristic technologies or piles of money.
For the records, Aramram's green channel has a good collection of green related videos presented in a Jordanian context with a slick digestible style. You will be able to understand what they are talking about regardless of your background, as long as you understand Arabic, the Jordanian colloquial to be more accurate. I hope you enjoy Hina's presentation.
Thanks Haitham
ReplyDeleteThe presentation is really neat!
Interesting !
ReplyDeleteWelcome Haitham
ReplyDeleteSimSim you are still alive I see :)
I don't remember that promise, but it's a good thing you do :P. Loved the post and loved the video even more! I was always interested in architecture, it's such a cool major. Problem is, no one in Jordan teaches it the right way.
ReplyDeleteIt is itself a bit an unstructured discipline to say the truth that needs a lot of passion and endurance :) at AUS, many architecture student drop while at their freshmen year, which makes it sound to me like medicine at Jordanian university.
