Architectural Pattern
• The architectural pattern around the site is following the traditional architecture , having up
to 4 story buildings with repeated floors
• Most of the designs are clean edge with no curves or deconstruction forms
• The architecture is not aestheticly influenced
 Materials
Used:
Stone is widely
used such as:
• Msamsam
• Mfajjar
• Toubzeh
• Stone rubble

As for the glazing

:

 trength
• The Position of the site is near the gate and so its approach is
easy
• The site location has few or none museums nearby , except
for the closed archaeology museum in the university .
• The site is in a great position since museums needs some
quite atmosphere
• The site is surrounded by evergreen trees acting as good
shading devices and wind blocks (buffer zones)
• The project can be a good place for events and workshops
for many fields.
• The Site is secured by the University Security
 eakness
• The site is full of evergreen trees in the buildable area and so
some of the old trees needs to be took off
• A lot of cost should be made in removing trees
• The noises from the two surrounding streets
• The slop of the site may raise the costs of the project..
• The fact our project is in a University may reduce the number of
customers.
• The fact our project is in a University could affect the working
hours of the building.
• The hot summer and cold winter will need mechanical cooling /
Heating devices that will raise the costs.
• The big variation between summer and winter climates will
increase the difficulty of controlling the thermal comfort in the
 pportunities
• Isolating the inner spaces of the project from the outdoor
noises and pollution from the surrounding streets.
• Thinking green and exploit the evergreen trees into our
project.
• Using passive solar heating/ passive cooling strategies to
reduce the need of mechanical equipment.
• Open up the site to the surrounded green areas.
• Providing architectural beauty to the students and teachers
• Creating a special system that can ease the accessibly of the
foreign customers into the University
 hreats
• The old trees could be a threat in some critical weather
conditions.
• The Pollution and noises are threats in this case because a
place like the museum a quite comfortable place.
• The limited customers and the fact that our project is
connected to the university working hours may affect the
incomes.
• The site is neighbouring a dorm.
• Starting with the educational buildings nearby, Makes places for events and
educational classes in the museum.
• Creating some gathering points to let people closer to the project. Pavilions /
Sculptures as trees work as buffer zones we can Build around the trees in some
spots
• 11. Using Trees as vertical shading for some outdoor areas, windbreaks in the
north-west side: Using Trees as vertical shading devices in the south and
,windbreaks in the north- west side
• Horizontal Shading: In Amman the sun angle in summer is approximately 83
• Vertical Shading: in the winter actually we want to let the winter sun in to give heat
and light to the building.0
• Sun path architectural response: -Avoid trees on the south side of the building
• 13. Using clear story lighting to reduce the need of electrical lighting in the
sunshine hours, and avoiding the use of skylight to protect the artifacts form the
high intensity of the summer sun heat.
• Using light colours for exterior walls to reflect high percentage of the sun
radiation.
• 14. Because of hot summer, we would rather use mechanical cooling equipment
or replacing it with passive cooling strategies.
• The site is on a street that has bus service, we can contain a bus stop in our
project.
• Making easy access for disabled people.
• Taking consideration of the surrounding architectural patterns, and the used
materials.
• Noise: - Vegetation can reduce noise and clean the air of dust and
certain other pollutants.
• Double-skin facades, which are also known as smart facades control
the spread of noise.
• Ventilation : Use comfort ventilation, natural ventilation that cools
people by passing air over their skin.
• Views: Opening the site to the green areas (good views), making
connection between the interior and the exterior.
• Walls and windows: -using thermal insulation in the winter and
thermal mass walls for the summer.
• using shaded windows and louvers to let the light in and preventing
the heat to enter.

the hues and textures of
concrete and vegetation
blend with the existing
material palette of Pan Pacific
Park. These simple moves
create a distinctive façade for
the museum while
maintaining the parks
topography and landscape.
The museum emerges from
the landscape as a single,
curving concrete wall that
splits and carves into the
ground to form the entry.
Designed and constructed
with sustainable systems and
materials, the LAMOTH
building is on track to receive
a LEED Gold Certification

• Architect: Raymond Moriama
• Building Area: 17000 square
• Total area: 28000 square meters
• Established: 1999
Design concept:
The architect Raymond Moriama
designed it, and the idea of design
came from the colors and shapes of
sand dunes
Of the red sand outside Riyadh
The western façade of the museum
represents the soft ocean of the
with the outer boundary that forms
crescent pointing to Mecca
 The Challenge:
At the time Moriyama &
Teshima won the
international design
The wall’s curve competition for the new
embraces the direction National Museum, the
of Mecca city of Riyadh, capital of
Saudi Arabia, was
carrying out an
economic development
program which aimed at
widening its economic
base and expanding
opportunities for leisure
and cultural activities.
The new National
Museum complex was
meant to be akey
strategy of the program.
The task was to create a
