The 2016 design exhibition takes place at the Amman Electricity Hangar in Ras El Ain. Designed and curated by architect Sahel Al Hiyari, the exhibition showcases original work by local and regional designers. The exhibition focuses on ideas of locality, challenging our understanding of design and its ability to push the boundaries of material, scale, form and function.

Located in the Jordan Museum, the MakerSpace is a forward-looking celebration of the Maker Movement. Visitors are invited to explore and interact with the modern tools and methods of creation, including digital fabrication technology, 3D printers, audio-visual devices and advanced robotics. These are situated alongside the museum’s collection of ancient tools, creating a juxtaposition that helps shed light on the evolution of innovation.

The Raghadan Tourist Terminal transforms into a social space exploring the importance of craft in issues of empowerment, self-expression and storytelling. Curated by architect Dina Haddadin, this exhibition offers a holistic link between culture, heritage and contemporary craft through a series of pop-up shops, demonstration booths, design installations and a local food component.

When objects align themselves in specific patterns to form constellations, they affect one another in an exchange that releases nuances of meanings and experiences. This exhibition curated by Sahel Al Hiyari transforms the works of Mamdouh Bisharat, Abeer Seikaly, and Sami Haven to engage with the space and the city.
