SeaCity Haifa’s port, Israel Professors: Arch. Ran Gross Arch. Ilana Rudashevski Arch. Amit Mendelkeren Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem 5th year final project 2011
The project is located in Haifa's port, on a strip of drayed land, reclaimed from the sea in the 30's. This area is called the"lower city", an area largely blocked to the sea, characterized by abandoned buildings and low retail activity where the socio - economic status of its residents is much lower than the urban average.
SeaCity
In recent years, artistgroups began to develop in the area, the bad image of the neighborhoods didn’t bother them and the cheaprealestate prices allowed them to buy large studio hangars to work and live in. Artists could be the key to the rehabilitation of the area, being a strong population and a powerful pioneering force that can sweep many people to follow. Dagon Silos are a huge grain terminal in the west bank of the Haifa's port. They were designed by architect Joseph Klarrowein in 1955. In the near future a new grain terminal is planned to be built in Ashdod's port, which will reduce significantly the need for The Dagon silos in Haifa. The SeaCity project recreates the connection between city and sea laying down the infrastructure for residential housing in the port,starting with the existing structure of Dagon Silos.By digging under the structure, the historic waterfront will return to its original place reopeningthe oldaccess way to the sea. The building itself will change from silos into residential units, workshops, galleries and offices. The first two floors will be open to the sea and themain mass in the center will become a sculpture garden open to the city, sea and sky. Holes pierced in the facade of the building following the wall's original diamond shaped pattern, will createa Mashrabiya, enabling a view of the sea from the city and the city from the sea.

After the establishment of a grain terminal in Ashdod’s port the need for Dagon silo will be significantly reduced. The project deals with the conversion of Dagon silo building into a residential one.
Artist groups who are not timid by the bad image of Haifa’s lower city, are a strong community that could sweep others and be the key to the lower city’s resurrection. “Ha’agaf” - community of prominent artists working in Haifa port. the main steps of my project.

The Project: focuses on a 2.5 km axe, which crosses diagonally from the transportation station of San Donato to the fields. The Concept: defining the axe as landscape vs. urban, adding according to a mathematical analysis vertical landscape and horizontal architecture.The Method: dividing the axe into 13 points. carefully analyzing each by measurable parameters. Then, using the results in order to create the specific intervention in each point. The Module: a construction box sized 4m*4m*4m, which its quantity, spread, surface number, etc., is determined by the analysis. We created very strong end points to the axe in points 0 and 12 - fields in boxes and boxes in a field.

the Triangle City of Ramla, Israel Professors: Prof’ Arch. Eli First Arch. Tamar Pertzov Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem 4th year 2010
The 3 streets in the middle of Ramla city perimeters a triangular area that was left empty and neglected. In my project I wanted to transform this area from being the back yard of Ramla to being its front yard. The municipality future plan for this area is to make It a central business district. In my project I’m planning to move this central business district onto the streets surrounding the triangle. These steps will give strength to the streets and leave the triangle area open and clear.
Moving the C.B.D onto the streets surrounding the triangle.

Ramla is a city of conflicts, with lots of socio-economic problems. Because of that I decided to use the triangle area for sports and leisure programs. Sport as a common denominator for all people: Rich and pour, religious and non-religious, jew and arabs. The park in the triangle creates a special segment of Hertzel st. – one side of the street has high buildings while the other side is open to a green view. In my project I focused on the street as a divider between two opposite urban forms. Existing western facade of Hertzl st. - Fenced & blocked. 8 floors - stays

The competition requirements were to plan a preschool that will be constructed in 52 communities in Israel. Since the project will be built in many different places, it’s important that the building will be simple and flexible. The building is modular so that it could be placed in different areas and sizes with minimal planning work. The treatment rooms are separated with screens that can move into pockets outside the building, thus enabling to control the size of the room according to a specific need. The pockets outside divides the space into small private yards, creating individual treatment rooms.
