Brief About The Project:
Pella "TabqatFahl" is located in the northern part of JordanValley & considered one of the oldest settlements in Jordan. Unfortunately, Pella is not being well recognized locally & is under threat of vandalism & destruction. Therefore, an architectural intervention was vital to the area.
The intervention lied in creating an Archaeological and Awareness Center in Pella that serves archaeologists & gives local community & site visitors the opportunity to learn about Pella’s archaeological history throughout a journey that exhibits the different layers of the site while also merging visitors with archaeologists through workshops to raise the awareness on the importance of Pella’s archaeology.
