Seven Finalist Designs Revealed for the Museum of Jesus’ Baptism in Jordan
Explore seven shortlisted concepts for the Museum of Jesus’ Baptism, integrating architecture with Jordan's sacred landscape.
Trahan Architects' proposal for the Museum of Jesus' Baptism features a below-grade structure that accommodates the natural movement of water, while above-ground landscapes with native plantings guide visitors through a contemplative wilderness.
Underground galleries are organized around the themes of Wilderness, Water, and Witness, each incorporating courtyards that frame the sky and immersive spaces beneath restored wadis.
Constructed from locally sourced rammed earth, the museum offers a modest architectural presence, providing a reflective experience that traces a descent into the earth and a gradual ascent toward the sacred Baptism Site.
