An Urban Jungle

Flexibility and adaptability allow the functions of a building to extend across multiple levels, allowing the building to be as fluid as the ideas within in it. The public spaces will be a canvas for artistic intervention and green spaces and plantlife will create an urban oasis that brings restorative qualities of well-being and health.

Playing the role of Chief Architectural Designer from original concept design to construction administration, I participated in each design presentation to client while doing studies on Feature Facade and Membrane Roof with the help of material supplier.

Regarding the membrane roof, the original concept was to attract the neighborhood and to inspire activities at the plaza. We made four study models and simulated the changing sunlight flittering through the membrane roof. Regarding the red feature wall with aluminum panel double skin, we tried to make the random effect by several times adjusting the lights layout on site. The study process helped me to better understand the essential of space and to find the interesting of designing with materials.

Connectivity

The cultural district plot north of our site is the missing link between the Pati Pier district and the heritage park. There is Potential to create a public building with elevated walkway connecting between the Pati Pier and the park, allowing a seamless experience of F&B, culture and greenery.

The masterplan initial design guidelines are driven by the use of local material and elegant spatial strategy incorporated by Israel ancient architecture, while the beauty of Israel landscape features such as layering rock formation of Eilat Canyon and the contrast of arid rock walls and lush greenery on Ein Gedi oasis inspired the forms and architectural articulation of the project.

The site is surrounded by industrial and office functions, which have a minimal view opportunity towards the surroundings. This condition is perfect to create an inner garden in the middle of the site and orientate the buildings towards the lush central landscape to create an Urban Oasis in the middle of a dense and busy environment.

Surrounding the main urban garden in the middle of the site are clusters of office buildings orientated towards an event plaza that will inspire collaboration between different companies occupying the complex. In each of these event plazas, various public amenities are strategically placed to accommodate different needs of the occupants.
