EXPERIMENTAL URBAN BLOCK COMBINING THE LAW COURT SYSTEM IN TEL AVIV WITH HOUSING BLOCK ADIE LEVY TECHNION TUTORS : ARCH.GABY SCHWARTS , ARCH.SHMAYA SERFATY
The project offers an alternative, critical observation on the system of law courts, its future, and its role in Tel Aviv’s metropolitan area, and reexamines the future courthouse program and its integration in the spirit of the 21st century. Southern Tel Aviv currently appears as a “seam” in the metropolis, slowly shaking off its industrial character and turning into an alternative platform which hosts some independent systems; governmental and judicial networks right beside alternative culture and art activities. Thorough urban analysis identifies the remaining industrials ruins scattered in the area both as substrates for the general renovation of Southern Tel Aviv and as infrastructures for the integration of the different systems into a single environment. The project proposes a new heterotypic mix, which challenges the conventional iconography we have in mind about the modern court system.

Recognition of two systems: the govermental vs. the social. these two systems exists right beside each other, but operate completely independently. the court system operate on the western border in front of local workshops, studios and art galleries and residential units inside old shops. distinct buffer zone between the two systems: what kind of formula can combine the two systems daily use and urban-local usage efficiently?what kind of functional mixture can exist,when a governmental function, such as court house is involved in it? which king of characteristic identification, should a court house need to have as a public building located at this specific urban context?

SECTION D-D
conference room staff library
The growing need for the court law system in tel aviv to expand and consume more lands in the future led to formulation of a new architectural plan for future extension. This plan,proposed to expand the existing complex which is located in the city center, at the expense of the upper parking lot which currently serves the court house’s visitors and staff.
Ramat Gan
The new initiative didn’t come up with a comprehensive stratagy which copes with the future program expansion. In fact, the court house system still remains disconnected from several court instances located around the metropolis area. The district court and the magistrates court, are both still planned to operate at the city center complex, though several instances remain scattered in themetropolis, and wasn’t included in the future building extension.
Temporary disengagement due to the lack of space generates a strong influence on the systems’ role in the metropolitan area. This disengagement was identified as a key to a possible solution, one that reads the systems’ constituents and relocates them in the city according to their functions.
The project offers transferring the metropolitan judicial instances to new locations, while leaving the magistrates and the district courts at their original locations. This disengagement creates an opportunity for the formation of a new assembly that synergetically corresponds to other urban systems both at the local and metropolitan scales. The instances that can operate independently from the central courthouse can move to vacant spaces around the city and serve the borough they belong to.
The creation of a new mix which involves the urban grid and the localized events within, as part of a govermental district, and as a test case , Tel aviv’s court system. the indepandent instances in the system serve as a substrates for urban activities and for residential units and are linked by platforms which do not interfere with the everyday live at the street level.

What characterizes the justice hall in the 21st century? How should it function as a public building today? Is there a relationship between its function and jurisdiction, and its location and influence the in metropolis? At the urban scale, the proposal depicts the justice hall space as a continuation of the residence grid tying it around the urban public space and the events that take place in it. In the first stage, by tying the unused open areas in the city into an urban pedestrian ring, the extension of streets into the compound, and interpretation of its ground floor as an open space that continues the park area from the south.
