Design studio | Stern social housing
“...My cousin couldn’t understand it. He cursed the man who sold him the paper, thinking he’d been given a bad batch. But I knew he hadn’t. I knew that the way others had lost a leg or an arm, I’d lost whatever the thing is that makes people indelible.
I told my cousin to sit in the chair. He was reluctant, but finally he agreed. I took a photograph of him, and as we watched the paper in the developing pan his face appeared. He laughed. And I laughed, too. It was I who’d taken the picture, and if it was proof of his existence, it was also proof of my own.
Site section 2nd year, guiding professor: Arch. Daniel Mintz First analysis of the site. the section explores the abandoned Stern building, the opposite neighborhood and the valley in between, that can only be accessed through the Stern buildings. The section defines the boundaries site. |2
He let me keep it. Whenever I took it out of my wallet and looked at him, I knew I was really looking at me. I bought an album, and fixed it to the second page. On the first page, I put the photo of my son. A few weeks later I passed a drugstore with a photo booth. I went in. From then on, every time I had some spare money I’d go to the booth.
In the beginning it was always the same. But. I kept trying. Then one day I accidentally moved as the shutter clicked. A shadow appeared. The next time I saw the outline of my face, and a few weeks later my face itself. It was the opposite of disappearing...� The History of Love / Nicole Krauss

2nd year, guiding professor: Arch. Daniel Mintz The valley inspiration made the “paint free plan” come to life. The final result is a synthesis of the analysis and the free plan. Somewhere between the abstract and the real. The “paint free plan” defines the inner design through every floor until the basement, where it comes to a fulfillment. |8

Garden Site boundaries
גבולות מגרש
Two wa
3rd year, guiding professors: Arch. Olesh Kaye & Arch. Aviad Mor The long and narrow site is situated between a future main commercial district and a neighborhood garden. As a result, there are two different main elevations, one in each side, designed to define the site’s area character. One of the main goals of the project was creating connections and neighboring relationships in the building. The design relates to the future garden, therefore, the building circulation is exterior, situated on the garden side, where the open spaces are integrated. With one hundred sqm of public space along the building, the design aspires to create random interactions that happen between the entrance of the building and the entrance to the private residential unit. |12

Design studio | Vertical Microcosmos
3rd year, tokyo studio, Drawing from an animation movie Guiding proffesor: Dr. Erez Golani Solomon Duration: Five a half weeks, in Japan & Israel The project deals with Tokyo’s generic buildings that have no windows, covered with advertisements and billboards. The inner space has no partitions, and the contents create the surroundings. The envelope of the building is insignificant. As a result of the vertical city life, there is an unusual programmatic proximity that creates multiple realities, options and speeds in one single building. the building design, which its limits and size are unknown, aspires to comprise Tokyo’s buildings all together. Moving downwards, through a small aperture the viewer is gradually exposed to the inner structure as the movie progresses. With unexpected joints between the mixed programs of the building, the radical situations reveal, up to the point where the viewer is uncertain where he is at any moment. |16

Basic Design course | Basilica Cistern analysis
1st year, guiding professor: Arch. Nilly R. Harag Analysis and interpretation to an architectural structure by drawings and physical models. The project suggests a different expresion to the cistern. The basilica plan is symmetrical, consisting of forest of 336 marble identical columns. Located in the far end of the cistern, there are two exceptional base pillars that are made of reused blocks carved with the visage of medusa. That specific section which was chosen to represent the basilica Model material: wood, cardboard |18

Yossi Klein With the assumption that Jerusalem is a garden city in mind, the model observes a part of Nachlaot neighborhood and “Saker” Garden nearby. Three different typologies have been revealed; on one end of the area, four story high buildings, in the middle, the site has been occupied by a dense cluster of residential buildings, and “Saker” Garden with no residential area at all.

1:1 Staircase design
2nd year, guiding professors: Arch. Ze’ev Arad & Arch. Roy Friedman. The Staircase design is inspired by farming terraces that actually function as a larger scaled steps. Working with horizontal plateaus and perpendicular surfaces, details for connecting different materials and panels in order to create a box which contains sand that results in producing treading floors. |22

Design studio | Searching a place
1st year, guiding professor: Arch. Oren Sagiv Searching a place for the first studio project in Jerusalem city. While walking around the city, I found strong contrast between neighboring streets; Intimate/crowded, quiet/noisy, protected/exposed. I wanted to document the moment, when all of a sudden, I encountered a busy street through a narrow alley. This sequence took place on the crowded Mahne-Yehuda market and on the streets nearby. |24
