Amman Design Week
# Amman Design Week

Amman Design Week is a design biennial that takes place in Amman, Jordan. It was founded with the support of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah.

## Background

Amman Design Week ran for three consecutive editions; 2016, 2017, and 2019.

The event's program includes its headline exhibition, called the Hangar Exhibition, which takes place at the Hangar in Ras Al Ain in downtown Amman, and features works by local and regional designers in various disciplines including architectural installations, furniture, fashion, product, and graphic design.

A second showcase, called the Crafts District, is a pop up exhibition that takes place in different parts of the city and engages in urban interventions. In 2016, the Crafts District pop up exhibition took place in an abandoned bus station called the Raghadan Tourist Terminal in Amman. In 2017, it proposed an urban structure designed by architect Dina Haddadin in a public space in Ras Al Ain in downtown Amman. In 2019, the pop up Crafts District took over a series of heritage homes in Jabal Amman called the Kabariti Village.
