P TOWER ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION ICHILOV, TEL AVIV SHARON ARCHITECTS & ZIS ARCHITECT

1 BACKGROUND In the 30 of the last century, the Israeli architect Arieh Sharon planned a series of buildings called "Cooperative Housing" in Tel - Aviv: residential blocks surrounding a courtyard that served a variety of social activities of all the residents.

In the new tower in the medical center, we returned to the collaborative vision of the cooperative housing by breaking the structural mass of the tower into a series of smaller substructures. It allows the creation of a variety of mediators spaces: meeting places, play areas for children, physical fitness activities and balconies landscape.

2 MORPHOLOGY OF THE TOWER Each sub - structure has a different size and color. This creates a unique sense of belonging among the residents and also creates a unique iconic tower for the Tel - Aviv's landscape.

Breaking the mass into sub-structures are an expression of the interior design on each floor: studio apartments, 2 room apartment, 3 room apartments and loft apartments.

3 SMART HOUSE The apartment's design is made out of creating a symbiotic relationship between outdoor spaces and indoor spaces: each apartment is designed with a terrace which is actually a "confined space" between the facade and the interior. This innovative design lets stay on the porch climate protected from sunlight and winds.

4 THE INTERFACES BETWEEN THE SUB-STRUCTURE In most of the towers in Tel Aviv the balconies are facing the sea view. Instead, we created a "Lodge" (balcony view) even in the urban landscape of the city. The public spaces that are at the heights of the tower create a heterogeneous facade, and also incorporate vegetation and allow "Pharma Culture" - an option to grow organic food.

5 DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE Series of public gardens - on the roof of the parking and on the public balconies around the tower facade. The concrete blocks of the Energy Center, located on Henrietta Szold St., will be covered with green walls, creating "Urban plants' help, in addition to being aesthetically urban element, to reduce CO2 emissions from the parking lot.

6 CONSTRUCT The tower design is based on the existing core - that has been designed in order to establish the pillars of the tower and the existing parking lot.

7 CIRCULATION The circulation planing has been done thinking about the different users - tower residents, employees of the medical center that use the parking and users of the daycare.

We use the two existing cores (which include elevators and stairs): the one located in the central nucleus of the parking lot and the core located on the north side of the parking lot.

Next to the southern entrance of the parking lot, we create a new elevator core for the residents and users of the daycare. The new core will take the users directly to the parking roof level to povide a direct passage to the tower lobby and the daycare center.

8 PARKING LOT The parking facade will be covered by a metal modular mesh that will create a monolithic structure and allow ventilation of the parking lot levels. On the Northeast corner of the parking area, we design a "Second facade" with varying opening sizes in order to tie the architectural style of the tower with the parking lot.
