The site lies at the confluence of two complementing forces: the geometric order of the cultivated fields and the organic, meandering flows of the wadi systems. From this meeting point emerges our project, a space shaped by both geometry and water, structure and movement.

The concept of baptism, rooted in the idea of immersion, becomes our guiding principle. Here, immersion is both physical and spiritual: you enter beneath a vast hovering roof that provides shade, nurtures trees, and hosts the program within.

Water is ever-present, circulating through the project, guiding movement, and reappearing as humidity, reflection, and growth. It defines the atmosphere, transforming the space into an experience rather than a building. To enter this place is to be immersed in landscape, in light, in water, a contemporary evocation of the baptism of Jesus, where architecture becomes a vessel for education and connection.
