As part of Amman Design Week's efforts in engaging designers with the urban environment and using our platform to create conversations about derelict or abandoned spaces in the city, Amman Design Week invites leaders in urban design and activism to a panel discussion. Speakers include Ayman Zuaiter, architect of the abandoned Raghadan Tourist Terminal, host to ADW 2016's Crafts District, urban design educator Leen Fakhoury, design activist and founder of the 7hills skatepark Mohammad Zakaria, and Nemeh Qatanani, an urban designer from the Greater Amman Municipality.

Taking place at the Children’s Museum Jordan’s Tinker Lab, this workshop is designed for children to tinker with old toys and transform them into new creations. Each participant will choose a toy, deconstruct it, and then reconstruct it again to create an new invention.

The daily workshop takes participants of all ages through the A to Z of designing and printing on apparel using digital printing techniques.

This live discussion showcases and elaborates on the desperate need for the practice of design and architecture and theory and academia to intersect in Jordan.

Fun Engineering is a 90-minute workshop addressed to children from 8-12 years old. In this workshop, children will create their own design models and will learn the basics of design and engineering.
