Background: Jordan is a country particularly rich in wild plants. Despite its small size, it is the home of diverse geographic areas with over 2,000 different species of plants, many of them unique to Jordan. However this rich heritage of biodiversity is, in most cases, endangered by urbanization, poor land use and population expansion. Only limited scientific research has been done on this flora, and there are undoubtedly plants in the country still unknown to science. A New Visitor Attraction The Botanic Garden will also be an attractive park where visitors can learn about Jordan's heritage in a beautiful setting, as well as a place where these plants will be preserved and displayed to the public. It will be a regional as well as a national public attraction, in a country where there are currently few such amenities.

Green Shift. Shift is defined as a change in position that effects different aspects of the project , not only effecting the architectural composition but also triggering the sociological image of the project like perception, it must transform the traditional perception into a new refined image , for example in Jordan the sociological perception towards the indigenous mega flora is either aesthetic or horticultural, the shift in that perception will increase the awareness towards the Jordanian indigenous mega flora. In other aspects like architectural form the shift could be directed by certain powers like the natural composition of the site, the function and the ideology. This kind of systematic growth through different aspects of the project will reflect itself either theoretically or composition wise from planning to the details.
