The Department of Architecture at Mu'tah University organized a field trip to Hmoud Village in Karak on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, where the site of the new project for the Design 3 course, Sustainable Inn Design, is located. The trip was accompanied by the course coordinator and instructor, Dr. Lara Al-Shawawreh. The students were accompanied by Dr. Mazen Al-Kheetan, Engineer Muath Al-Kheetan, and Mr. Aysar Halasa. The tour began with the ancient church of Hmoud, learning about its construction story and structural style. Then, they visited the old market, where Engineer Muath explained the rich and influential history of the market in the region, along with the history of the mill and the old school. Finally, they toured a family home belonging to Mr. Marwan Al-Kheetan, who shared the story of renovating the house while preserving its old design. At the end of the tour, Engineer Ward Al-Kheetan joined them, also sharing stories about the village heritage and the new generation's connection to their ancestors' land. Many thanks to Dr. Mazen Al-Kheetan from the Civil Engineering Department for hosting us in his village, Hmoud, arranging the tour, coordinating with the speakers, accompanying us, and providing the opportunity for students to interact with the local community. Much love and appreciation to all the people of Hmoud for their hospitality and cooperation with the students in all field trips, and we hope this project will be implemented on the ground someday because Hmoud deserves it.
