To support local talent, Amman Design Week has prepared an exciting entertainment schedule offering live performances featuring local musicians and tunes featuring various local talents who will be performing as part of the social space created for the Crafts District.

MADAFA stems from the belief that design should be experienced through all five senses. Set within the winding pathway between Al Hussein Cultural Center and Greater Amman Municipality, MADAFA is a social space and pavilion curated by Arini and designed by architects Rasem Kamaland and Saja Nashashibi. The pavilion is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional space for the reception of visitors.

This pop-up eatery encompasses a contemporary kitchen where chefs prepare an interesting array of locally inspired dishes.

About the Workshop

This furniture design workshop focuses on understanding the different design genres, that are essential in relating the product to the proper context.

Without an association to represent designers and offer them tools and resources to grow, designers continue to be an unheard voice. This workshop seeks to establish the groundwork for an association of designers in Jordan – one that helps advance design as a profession, provides tools and resources to designers country-wide, and establishes design as a key force in society.

This workshop introduces participants to different tools and wire techniques and will result in the creation of wearable pieces. As part of inamullumani’s objective of supporting the empowerment of women, training workshops related to capacity building and technical skill development have been offered.

The workshop will present a pilot project for public schools developed by The Center for the Study of the Built Environment (CSBE) and teach basic participatory design applications for working with youth. Participatory design secures user buy-in, generates creative solutions that are tailored to the needs of communities, and is a significant contributor to relevant placemaking.

Oasis500 and Finnegan, an international intellectual property law firm, are hosting a session on IP to raise awareness among designers on what is patentable, the different types of patents and how designers can protect their work.
