The starting point of the project lies in a critique of the current functioning of the planning field. Today, the physical space is designed through a wide range of separate disciplines—architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, transportation, infrastructure, and more—each operating according to its own independent methodologies. This professional fragmentation, which begins during academic training, creates restrictive urban elements, resulting in a fragmented city.
Using the conventional retaining wall in hillside construction as a case study, the project explores an alternative supporting spatial system. This approach creates a sequence of usable volumes, pathways, and engineering solutions, integrating disciplines to form a continuous, walkable urban fabric.
The project explores how humans and nature can live togther. the programma is a rowing club and sustainability center between two major cities and near a river and sea. The site is surrounded by nature areas.
Top 10 finalist in "Dori awards". Planning a building for soldiers during wartime and an agricultural market during normal times.
This project is a Support Center and Hotel for Cancer Patients and their relatives. Nature, as a healing place, and in particular flowers were the inspiration in several ways.
A multi-species planting strategy inspired by principles of landscape ecology and responding to the local conditions of the site Hangzhou in China.
The workshop intends to experiment with the architectural project as a tool to encourage the use of public space and make it a territory for discussion, play, and training.
In the project, I translated a sense of a place to forms and materials. With that I created community and housing center for imegreants.
Over the years, the city of Tel Aviv has developed through planning and ideological ideas
established. On the other hand, the site and its surroundings remained largely without a conceptual infrastructure
served as the city's backyard. Thanks to the transportation and employment infrastructure
In the area, the site became the "Gate of the City" for many days, but it suffers from a lack of infrastructure
quality for the pedestrians who drain into it. We offer to return the green to the city!
Finalist in "The golden sand waterfront" competition. Planning for "In between" spaces in a town in northeastern Italy.
This project was born out of movement. This tool is one of the more important an architect has. The design of this building is hidden in the desert cliffs.
This urban planning project discusses the implications of the new metro system that will be built in the central cities of Israel in the next ten years. The project is an urban space that combines intense urbanity with a relaxed environment, to find moments of peace.
The project offers alternative housing which encourages a liberated and creative life with the help of unusual situations that we don't meet in our daily routine.
The project presents a constructive system that functions as a safe home for at-risk youth and as an public open space for the neighborhood. At-risk youth are coming from troubled families and their first needs are to feel safe and trust.
