The design of the King Abdullah II House of Culture and Art was inspired
by Petra, the historic and archaeological rock city. Petra is a city with rose-colored mountain walls that are eroded, carved, fissured or polished to allow the sedimentation strata and the fluid lines of the fluvial erosions to be seen.
The project is the result of a competition that was held in June 2008 and involved Kerry Hill Architects (Singapore), Atelier Christian de Portzamparc (France), Snøhetta (Norway), Delugan Meissl (Austria), and Henning Larsens Tegnestue (Denmark).
The project comprises a performing arts and cultural center with galleries, rehearsal spaces, an educational center, a 1600-seat music hall, and 400 seats for theater.
