JPjets VIP Terminal
Aqaba - Jordan
Aqaba - Jordan
The dynamic form responds to the uniqueness of its location in the relatively rural area of northern suburb of Aqaba in Jordan, through its extensive glazed sections, the reception and lounge area opens out on to the vast mountainous landscape that the city of Aqaba offers. While the concrete skin is molded around functional elements of the building creating a balanced natural light flow, the JP-Jets terminal concrete mass is molded into sharp edged surfaces that represent the rough lines from the surrounding mountains, while the straight lines in the rectangular mass present the human intervention to the desert area. The terminal is perceived as a sculptural landmark in the relatively rural landscape.
