RESEARCH ABSTRACT: For understanding human psychology and how to attract users to the project, their is a specific science in human psychology called Captivology which means how to capture people attention and their is seven triggers for captivology as indicated in the Book " Captivology " Author, Ben Parr. And for understanding the human memory their is two types of memories, spiritual memory which is conscience which is naturally right. and the physical memory which consist of things we have learned from life it could be something right or wrong and then we have saved this things we learned as a habit, action or just a data. for the physical memory there is seven sins as doctor daniel schacter said in his book " the seven sins of memory " explaining how the memory tricks us by believing in the wrong actions as they are the right.
CHALLENGE: the main challenge was to chose the right site to work on, we needed a site that is located in a middle of a conflict zone but it still safe, so we chose Jordan, and due to the project goal is globally not just locally we needed a place that can be reachable for all the visitors, due to that we have chose a street located between the main airport in Jordan and the capital city Amman, Which is Airport Road so the site existed on the Airport Road, and the visitors can know about it and reach it easily when they arrive to Jordan. Another Challenge is understanding the human psychology and how to affect on it with an architectural experience.
