Prosperity Well Museum

The project is conceived as a layered cultural landscape that connects architecture, memory, and territory while preserving the site’s geological and historical identity. At its core, a subterranean museum route links Ithra with key landmarks, including historic wells, the Sweet Gas Plant, and the Italian Wall, forming a continuous spatial and narrative sequence beneath the ground.

The underground path is accompanied by a 1.4-kilometre light installation inspired by early geological explorations. Above ground, the surrounding Jebels are integrated into the project through a network of hiking trails, viewpoints, and former water tanks reprogrammed as exhibition and gathering spaces, extending the experience into the landscape.

Architectural elements draw inspiration from the traditional Bedouin tent, reinterpreted through a contemporary language and a naturally ventilated roof system. The project establishes a coherent relationship between light, material, and topography, shaping a cultural environment that reflects the evolution of the site and its significance within the broader territorial context.
