Brief About The Project: 

“Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.” -Rumi
What one person may consider worthless could be highly prized or valued by someone else.
The project is an up-cycling center that consists of a cafe where visitors can exchange their light waste collections with their light meals and drinks, exhibitions, workshops, and other various functions.
according to observations and site studies; Downtown Amman which is considered as the heart of the capital of jordan suffers from light waste management and socio-economic issues that need to be solves which made me chose the site.
