摘要

Thinking about Jordanian architecture in all its historical problematic, it might bring back to mind the simple image of Amman, this city which has grown and clustered over its plains and mountains to form a deep humanize image that we can't link to one architect, but rather to the culture who is the most creative architect. This local simplicity must have affected all Jordanian architects minds whom they've formed a distinguished cultural material over the whole Arab world. This research will review the Jordanian architecture properties that relate to the environmental housing which shows the variation in its culture and features depending on its intellectual reference, which a group of outstanding architects who created an architectural awareness through the last decades expressed. And so what are we witnessing is a huge variation between individual experiences in housing architecture in the contemporary Jordanian society and that is the result of intellectual biases which forms new values to the society that have an impact on the shape of the house. And to accomplish the goals of this research the work of Architect Imad Dabbas was chosen, which focused on discourse that aimed to express his thoughts that rises from the direct environmental trend as the function of the beneficial, green architectural design, sustainable design, and prevailing techniques and more.
