Adaptive Socio-Cultural Epicentre

Jordan University of Science and Technology

Idea projektu

The philosophy behind the project is that fundamental functions should be accessed easily and one of the most important functions is the library. The main problem was that libraries in the MENA region are so far from neighborhoods and people can’t reach them without using transportation.
