This document provides details about a proposed Conscience Center project in Amman, Jordan. The three main goals of the center are to help people understand the consequences of bad behavior, recognize decision-making mistakes, and promote dialogue between community members. It would include spaces for different interest groups to meet and discuss issues in a respectful manner. The design is based on theories of moral development and aims to guide people to make decisions based on universal ethical principles rather than rules or social expectations.

The place matters. We were born there, have been living and working there, entered there and exited from there. Places are an object of observation from the outside while we experience them from the inside. A place is the most ethnographic level of observation of relational territorialisation.
However, do we really know how territories behave? Can we really observe in practise the notion of the Network Territory? How does the dynamic concept of a territory fit and juxtapose with that of a network?
Some territories are putting all their efforts, thanks to the common work of public, private, and civil agents, into restructuring the post-crisis economic and social system. Nevertheless, can we observe and see what is occurring in these places and territories? How are we supposed to observe those big black boxes with input and output but with an unknown and hardly explainable process? How can we apply hermeneutics to the socially innovating processes in the networked territories at any scale? What tools should we use for this observation? What tools do we want and can we use to intervene? What effect do we ultimately want to have?
All these elements may demand a systemic vision in the cybernetic multidisciplinary sense that Social Innovation requires and that links with the two main currents of Social Innovation in a coherent way: we are referring to, on the one hand, the more academic approach, with a social justice dimension, aligned towards the Territory and Social Economy and, on the other hand, the more practitioner and policy-making approach, championed by the third-way labour school of thought of the Young Foundation, Nesta and Demos.
This publication is thus to suggest taking a step back to achieve some impulse and present a Territory Systemic Framework from Social Innovation. We mixed elements from
Action Research as a suggestion for the investigation methodology, the way to observe the Territory from the viewpoint or paradigm of Social Innovation. That is to say that we de-constructe the Territory into three scales (#Macro, #Meso and #Micro) to be able to observe, understand, and implement social transformations. What we know now is that the future of Territories is currently determined by two variables: their network-notion and their value of commons. The Territories that are able to mingle with the collective intelligence that is strategically aligned with the understanding of the Territory-Network and Common Welfare will be in a better position to undertake some real processes of Social Innovation within themselves. Which policies, projects, and agents/people should be promoted within the Territories? And what role do creative atmospheres or ecosystems play?
Let us then answer three questions:
What? Why? How? That is to say, Territory, Social Innovation, and Action Research.

Determining the Position of Culture-Centered Design in Complementation of Urb...Parisa Aminsobhani
Modern society, according to a single linear view of modernity, is founded upon the concept of
progress in a linear trajectory; it has “backward” on the one side and “civilized, developed society” on
the other. According to this point of view, the societies, whether want it or not, having no choice
except moving away from backwardness towards progress and development. The overall rate of
societies’ civility and urbanization is measured on the extent to which they are similar to the first
developed cities in the world. However, the criticism made are that the legacy of the communities,
mostly formed by culture, is consciously or unconsciously deleted or overlooked through this
measurement. In order to compensate for the loss caused by modernity, the roles of designers as
the critics and promoters of modern perspective, become significant with regard to the profound
attention to culture. It takes a step towards experiencing and culture-making. The present paper has
been prepared based on the results from the research on environmental design project of River
Valley of Maqsood Beyk – Jafar Abad in Tajrish Square; and it aims to provide a procedure to
increase the cultural functions in the environment. The study indicates that the aesthetic and
symbolic functions are neglected in the regional environmental design; and at lower level, the
practical functions are seen as sufficient. Due to the profound attention to culture, the design studies
suggest the image analysis method and Kansei Engineering throughout the present research. The
case study on River Valley Maqsood Beyk – Jafar Abad shows that applying this method has been
successful in experiencing the design of products and environment and systematically leads the
designers’ mind to cultural considerations.
In this presentation, and believing in necessity-driven technological solutions, we present a few guidelines for the creation of a Code Of Conduct for people interested in socially-responsible engineering and science. The motivation for this Code Of Conduct is derived from work done with minorities and endangered communities in Mexico. Introduction of new technology must first consider the cultural and environmental surroundings, as well as the actual needs that drive its implementation. These guidelines are divided into three sections on how to interact with: Individuals, Communities and Technology.
Launch conference presentation of Dr. Pietro Elisei, coordinator of the YPLAN project, on why co-designing public space is essential for the present and future wellbeing of the citizens - young and old alike.
I was born in Stockholm in 1989 but brought up in Greece. I have studied Planning and Regional Development for 5 years in the University of Thessaly, Greece and Sustainable Urban Planning and Design for 2 years in KTH, Sweden. My studies have contributed in my deep critical thinking and appreciation of sustainability, inclusion, accessibility and participation. Throughout the projects I have worked on I developed a great interest in social sustainability, especially regarding feminist questions in planning.
This is a booklet of some of my most recent projects, all taking place in the city of Stockholm.
A series of graphics from integralMENTORS integral UrbanHub work on IMP and Thriveable Cities
These books show the graphics from a dynamic deck that accompany a presentation on Visions & WorldViews and Thriveable Cities. The history of the co-evolution of cities, evolving WorldViews, Visions & Mindsets in Urban Habitats and technology is presented in an integral framework.
Integral theory is simply explained as it relates to these themes see UH 2 & UH 3 for more detail.
These volumes are part of an ongoing series of guides to integrally inform practitioners.

Project abstract
Archaeology definition
The systematic study of pasthuman
life and culture by the recovery and
examination of remaining material
evidence, such as graves , buildings,
tools, and pottery.
learning about successive
civilisations that inhabited Jordan
does not only add to her historical
knowledge , but also boosts her
pride and sense of belonging to the
country.
Underscoring the role of
archaeology in promoting open -
mindedness acrossdifferent cultures
and countries , “especially today
when the picture of people from
other cultures is often misused to
further political aims for confrontation”.
The site's association with the
last days of Moses is described
in moving words in Deuteronomy
(7 -34:1).
Mount Nebo is one of the most
revered holy sites ofJordan, located
10 km west of the Roman Byzantine
town of Madaba , for this is where
Moses (pbuh) was buried.

Project abstract
definition
(IPA) is most often a government
agency (or occasionally a non-profit
organization functioning similar to a
chamber of commerce or business
consulting corporation)
whose mission is to attract investment
to a country, state, region or city.

generation, project management
and after care services. Some IPAs
have additional advocacy function
mostly in developing
countries where investment climate
is not fully favorite.
The IPA does this by introducing
investors with local suppliers (raw
materials or other inputs), providing
userful statistical data and business
information such macroeconomic
indicators (GNP, GDP, HDI, inflation
etc.),
labor productivity, average
wages, attractive sectors of
domestic economy and by
managing any investment
incentives that the city, state
or country may offer to
foreign investors (companies
or individuals).

13. Conscience Center Project Abdali - Amman - Jordan
Architecture must be mirror for
society, reflect it problems and
Concerns. Because the architect his
work is not just an idea It is not just a
project It is not only a material
manifestation For a conscientious
architect his work has life Life that
creates multiple materialist ,Material-
ist that can be molded, enhanced,
blocked, recreated, healed.
-What is the most things we (as a
society) concern about it?
Our economy issues or our culture
Or our thinking Or corruptio Or
Favoritism or way of life Or no Ethics
or bad habits Or no values
We can contribute to find solutions
by considering an integrated system
consisting of:
Human - society - environment
So we started from the smallest
component it's the human
The project directed to the human
who owns the decision
This decision includes all the
decisions of the human in his life.
When we talk about behavior of
human actually we talk
about his conscience.
-So what is conscience?
Conscience [kon-shuh ns-]:
The inner sense of what is right or
wrong in one's conduct or motives,
impelling one toward right action.
(The human ability to distinguish
whether an action is right or wrong,
the internal power exercised by man
over the himself, , And the control
exercised by the himself , if it receive
any work, it have a forbidden or
order).

common interest,refusing the other, shortage of knowledge and
misusing of media).
Collective : using the self interest of users to working in groups by
do an action together to generate the power that making the
space usable (mechanism way).
accepting : common ground collecting diffrent teams in one
space to notice users that there is others and have to knowing and
accepting them.
perception : Increasing knowledge and education and using
media to publish that.
meditation : its an in between level to think about the previous
level and get the message.

That is leading us to inspire our objective;
creating five main levels between the six
stages, the major target of them is useing
The mental state of the users and push
them to skip the current stage to the other
and so that...
the five main levels are:
Reveal : using users fears of loss about
the present and the
mysteries of the future in the same time
notice them about an important reasons

SCHEMATIC AND THEMATIC THINKING

16. We don't see our conscience center as block or
just a building , we see the conscience center as a
way of life for users, visitors and neighborhood. we
want the message of the project reach so we
need :
-We need to increase the people’s flow through
the project to increase numbers of users and
visitors .
-we need make the project as something iconic in
Amman -like conscience - through continuous
change in the image of the project .
-we need also solve physical problem to achieve
the principle and goals of the project , solve an
urban problem is a good choice.
We work into two directions
- urban direction (community overall direction )
- the events and activities of the conscience
center direction ( system direction)
Processes of form :
A- create new two bridges through the site
#1: from Abdali to jabal al hussain #2: from jabal
al hussain to midtown
A- create new urban space in our project to using as :
1- Pedestrian paths for visitors and users of the
project
2- To use as huge urban space for all neighbor-
hood and all of Amman people

City space is created by the intertwining of various spheres from such
interactions with city environments ; Gaps in urban structures and urban
life will appear and by exploring and understanding then we are better
to create appropriate and unique environment in cities

Madineh Monawwarah Street is one of Amman’s busy connections;
it connects a lot of western Amman’s neighborhoods. It starts from
Queen Rania street & Jordan University street intersection, extends
south through Tla’a Al Ali Neighborhood intersecting with Wasfi Al
Tal street at the Jubilee circle, then extends further separating
between Rabieh and Um Uthaina Neighborhoods, intersects with
Mekkah Street at Haramain circle, extends further south and ends
at point between the Sixth and Seventh Circles in Zahran Street.
Madineh Monawwarah Street is a popular residential area as a
result of its position in the center of Amman’s western Neighbor-
hoods, adding tothat, it being close to the Commercial area in
the City. An important case that the street faces is a suffocating
traffic especially at rush hours .
With the increase in the population of western Amman, Madineh
Monawwarah Street has become a vital vein in the capital as it
has become the main route to move between neighborhoods or
at least an intersection.
There are 4 main neighborhoods which are: ( Umqa, Rasheed,
Sultan, Tahdethi). The main features are: a large number of residen-
tial areas, multi functions in the street ( shops, markets, restaurants,
offices, companies, hospitals). However, the site lacks urban
spaces (green areas, activity and entertainment
areas, parking lots, social gatherings, fields, clubs, plazas).
The Street is divided into two sections: Commercial and Residen-
tial. The commercial part extends from the north (the University
Hospital) to south (Haramain Intersection). However the Residential
part is the rest of the street that ends at Zahran Street.The Com-
mercial Part has a constant traffic problem for the following
reasons:
1. Improper street-shop relationship: the stopping,dropping off and
loading procedures are obstacles in front of the traffic. These
obstacles are due to the lack of adequate parking spaces. This
problem is evident at the stores of the eastern side between Waha
Circle and the university Jordan.
2. Overlapping of the lanes that go out from the Waha Tunnel and
those from outside the Tunnel.
3. Lack of comfortable serviced specialty areas that are satisfacto-
ry to the citizen. Open areas that give the users a safe and
healthy way to approach these shops and benefit from their servic-
es don’t exist. As a Result, there is a demand to separate the
traffic movement from the commercial stores services,with a
sustainable expansion that suits the vehicular movement, the
pedestrians and the stores owners.Also, an extension of the Waha
circle tunnel is initiated that ends after the restaurants. Above the
extension will be a pedestrian plaza and food courts that support
the restaurants.

-Jordan University Southern Gate
An important notice to the cars stopping
at the entrance of the Jordan University
Southern gate. This activity creates
an obstruction of traffic; especially
the traffic that is coming from Madinah
Monawwarah Street. Because of that,
solutions were put that prevent the
stopping and waiting in front of the gate.
That was translated through inserting a
tunnel that leads traffic coming from
Madinah Monawwarah Street to the
campus directly followed by the check-
points
( that shifted to the inside of the
campus). The checkpoints have 3 lanes
that assure no traffic jams at the gate; as
it was discovered that a car stopping at
the gate for 3 minutes makes a lane of
cars of average of 4 cars behind in during
working hours. At certain hours the
average of cars behind
has a range of 5 to 10 cars behind at
the beginning and end of working hours
(7:30 am- 9:30 am) & ( 11am- 1 pm)
A new gate was incorporated
for the vehicles coming from Dahiyat
Al-Rasheed near the traffic
light. This gate is necessary to reduce
the intensity of cars at the turn
towards Madinah Monawwarah
Street.
The Madinah Monawwarah
Street is a commercial street with
high and intense massing that lacks
service spaces. After analysis, the
solution was an urban pocket that
provides us with an access to service
with a place for a stroll that has
adequate green areas which please
the user entering the space.
In addition, as a commercial
street needs cash flow, ATM machines
are available in that space.
This space can be used as
an event lawn without interrupting
the street traffic. However it is
strongly connected with the parking
lots from side entrances to

Depending on the analysis of the
site and the traffic movement, it
was found that one of the main
reasons for the traffic jams is the
excessive stop & park which hap-
pens incorrectly; especially at the
area of the restaurants. One of
the solutions to this problem is
paving the area in front of the
restaurants
entirely and turning it to a seat-
ing area (an open food court).
Following the solution, the tunnel
of Waha circle continues under-
neath the paving till the end of
the restaurants. As a result of
such a solution, vertical parking is
mandatory in the nearby empty
lands to provide adequate park-
ing spaces.
Another solution is paving the
parking spaces only and keeping
the street as is with 3 continuous
lanes; but no parking spaces. As
a result to this the cars won’t
stop to park and therefore won’t
make a
traffic jam. This solution has less
cost but will defy
the habits and traditions of
people concerning the
use of the street. As a result to
such solution, underground
pedestrian tunnels are a must.
