Soft Landing - An immegrants center in Shappira neighborhood, Tel Aviv.

5th semester projectAdvisor: Arch. Oren Ben Avrahamapprox. 2000 sqm
Shappira is a neighborhood in south Tel Aviv, Israel. since it's early years, the neighborhood was a place for immigrants and refugees. First came Jews from Europe after WWII, then came Jews from oriental countries, later on the community changed for Filipinos, Chinese, Africans and other refugees and work immigrants. Throughout the years, Shappira neighborhood grew and changed, every decade had it's different effect on it's streets and building. These changes are seen and noticed - On the sidewalks, On the Facades, and on the faces of the people. Colors, Forms, and Materials.As the years went by, the typical residential block in the neighborhood saw a process of disassembly and rearrangement, due to the need in law budget housing for the poor habitants of the neighborhood, until a new type of block emerges, a block closed and tight, with hardily any public void left within.My project takes these morphology, and turns it in to a public building. The project consist of diverse functions, providing it's users with all they need for a safe start - a soft landing in Israel. Immigrants would find a place to sleep until they settle, Hebrew classes, shared kitchen, living and computers room, public and government services and recreational spaces for them to spend their time.A roof spans above the whole project. Acting as a main dominator, grouping all the function as one BIG public domain, it symbolize the organizing structure of the streets system.The circulation system is made of fire escape like, metal bridges and stairs. Hanging from the roof, the system ties the functions together, setting the stage for coincidental meetings, cross views, and unplanned events. THIS IS THE PUBLIC DOMAIN - this is my Architectural act - Architecture of events.The building is made from heavy forms made of concrete, and light forms made of metal truss. symbolizing the neighborhood's buildings and the unplanned vernacular building additions. Every element in the project is divided from the other. small gaps between each element make the building feel unfinished, always growing, dynamically changing.

Housing Project, Bat-Galim neighborhood, Haifa

3rd semester projectAdvisor: Arch. Michal Yokale25 Housing units
The project tries to introduce a new perception in the neighborhood while basing on typical behaviors found in it. The project integrates in its surroundings by allowing the manifestation of common phenomenon currently found in the neighborhood. Draw from her and providing back. I went to examine what make Bat-Galim the special place that it is. The neighborhood has a healthy community and neighbors relations, I wanted to find what are the things that set the ground for it.I found it in the streets. Bat Galim inhabitants use the streets as an extension of their house, one can find furniture lying around near the houses entrances. In many cases a bystander can peek inside the public spaces of the houses thanks to the large windows of the living areas. Neighborhoods where inhabitants feel safe to walk around in the streets ensure meetings between residents, and in result, social connection.I realized that this will be the catalyst for my design that's the thing I want to preserve in the neighborhood.I made a model that tries to quantify the public spaces and how much public are they. I found that there is a private-public scale. Between the two sides there's an in-between spaces.Using a rudimentary section of a boardwalk house, I tried to produce a building with 25 housing units that would contain the places that enable the behaviors I found in the neighborhood. The irregular floors and the shape breaking of the apartments demonstrate physically the annexation of spaces every apartment intrudes its neighbor, sensed, sustained and inflict the shape of the neighboring apartment. In that way there's duplicity of the neighboring situations I would have a shared WALL with the neighbor ABOVE me.The apartments work as the rudimentary section; they all feature the circular movement feature.The entrances to the apartments are always from public areas which are separated by levels, the level separation makes a entrance space that residents can use as a front porch. The first room inside the apartment will be a shared space with a big window opening towards the public area outside, as one go deeper inside the apartment the space turns more private and in the other end there's a shared balcony for two adjacent apartments. Every apartment will have an exit to the roof that acts as a shared space to the specific apartment cluster. The roof level, which is influenced from the floor height below, creates different states of meetings, varying from gathering to seclusion.

Urban Renewal - Mercaz Hacarmel, Haifa

Haifa has a distinct urbanity that feature the intense urban flow with the breaks in continuity caused by the presence of nature. In Mercaz Hacarmel (Carmel Center) we found the best potential to the embodiment of this kind of urbanity.The Carmel center today operates on a linear axis that constitutes the central URBAN AXIS in the Carmel Mountain and the WATERSHED LINE drawn on the whole ridge. From and to this line attached are wadis, mountain extensions, neighborhood, and many routes. In the center itself, the building adjacent to the street creates a wall a boundary and behind it, a world of in between spaces, wadi landscape routes and views.Our aim was to extend the center on a grid, composed from passages and cores with diverse characteristics and different intensity that constitute a part of the reciprocal relations between the two forces NATURE VERSUS URBAN.The project offers to amplify the characteristics of the two forces, while the contrast between them intensifies the qualities of each.The amplifying of the forces will be made by dealing with the in between spaces, the main urban axis (Hanassi Blvd.) will have a major addition of buildings, and in the same time, some of the built volume will be subtracted, in order to change and re-define new urban proportions and opening GATES TO THE SPACE BHIND THE BUILDINGS. These spaces, we get a proper treatment in order to define them as public spaces with variable intensity.The project was issued as a proposal to Haifa's municipal competition for urban renwel.

APPROACH

Architecture entirely unites the branches of learning I am interested in: art, sociology, anthropology and sciences. Up to now, at the Technion, I have been enthralled by the architectural theories and research the work is based upon. I try to use these theories as the foundation for my own work. I would like to further my knowledge and continue to study and research said theories and, perhaps, one day, develop my own.
