Ruin | Tel Aviv, Israel Bachelor project Third year of study // 2016 Bezalel Acadamy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem The Dolphinarium complex, located north of Charles Clore Park, has undergone many changes over the years. First, the Manshiyah neighborhood, a northern branch of the neighboring city of Jaffa, was sitting on the same lot. The Manshiyah neighborhood was destroyed and on its ruins was built Charles Clore Park and the Dolphinarium complex. The dolphinarium was built in the late 70s and operated for only 5 years until 1985. After that it ceased to be used as a dolphinarium; part of it was abandoned and parts of it were used for several programs - nightclub, surfing club and warehouses.

View No. 1

In contrast to the Tel Aviv coastline which provides no shelter, the project tries to produce new views of the sea and create situations that cannot be created on a clean coastline. The project refers to the Dolphinarium complex as a ruin: a place built on the ruins of a forgotten neighborhood and in itself was abandoned very quickly after its construction. In the ruin, the loose parts slowly fall off, revealing the structure anew. With the help of delicate cuts the structure is exposed to the sea and new situations and encounters are created between architecture and the sea.

24/7 studio Bachelor project forth year of study // 2017 Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem "Ethics is optics," Emmanuel Levinas stated. The zero point of ethics stems from the other person standing in front of me and looking straight at me. My gaze turns to the other and tries to capture his face, trying to narrow it down to another extroverted experience, but the other's face resists the objecting gaze. The other person's face is the one that gives the ethical validity and commands me the ethical imperative. The uniqueness of the ethical perspective has become a guideline in a project that offers a combination of an office building and a manufacturing building. The users of the building comprise of a combination of blue-collar workers and white-collar workers. The vistas created in the project are "ethical" views that do not appeal to the different employees. The circulation of the building creates many encounters between the various workers. The entrance to the building is shared and many passages are used by the two groups of workers. Common courtyards are located between the two programs and also serve as meeting points.

Soft City - Hard City | Jerusalem Final project Fifth year of study // 2018 Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem In Boris Grois' article "The City in the Age of Tourist Reproduction" he laments the death of the city at the hands of tourism. The city, which he says has always been a groundbreaking space, a utopian place bounded by walls has become, through the tourist perspective, a fossil of time, and has ceased to function as the same utopian space that it once was. The project offers a new infrastructure in the city. A traffic vector crosses the deep wadi and produces a bridge for permanent and temporary residents, reviving the city. The project is located in the depths of Guy Ben Hinnom, between the Abu Tor neighborhood and Mount Zion. The project has two parts - permanent and temporary. The permanent part is a school building used by the children of the Abu Tor neighborhood, a neighborhood that suffers from overcrowding and a shortage of open spaces. The school also serves as a link between the neighborhood and the wadi that is now abandoned and neglected.

Site plan

The temporary part of the project is a building built during the periods of pilgrimage of the various religions in the city. The building is located on the other side of the wadi - Mount Zion. The building provides accommodation, gatherings, trade, study, and prayer for the various pilgrims to the city. The two buildings, permanent and temporary, together form a bridge that crosses the deep wadi and connects the two separate parts of the city. The "hard city" often dictates its shape. The valleys cross the city, outlines the structure of the neighborhoods and the traffic in the city. The project tries to create a "soft city": a permanent bridge alongside a temporary passage, in order to connect the divided city.

The Hebrew Language Academy Campus Open competition In collaboration with Alex Topaz and Michael Walma A building is a language, a syntax that connects the person to the place. A unique grove garden in the heart of National Campus in Jerusalem has been chosen to be the new home of the Hebrew Language Academy. The local Jerusalem vegetation, the distinct topography and the complex program that contains the various functions of the academy - all of these constitute the building of the Academy of Language. The connection between urban nature and architecture is translated in different ways through the proposed building.

The building is designed to integrate organically with the natural garden that exists in the place and will keep it as an open and accessible grove for the public and visitors.

Three volumes placed on top of each other trace the natural topography that exists on the site and take advantage of the significant height differences in favor of organizing the program. These volumes divide the different functions into three different wings that allow separation between the area designated for workers and the area of public and common areas. The main entrance to the Academy from the intersection of Ruppin and Stephen Wise streets through a high foyer defines the entrance level to the entire complex, allows a view of the grove and directs the movement of visitors to the various wings.

facade detail - isometric view

The facade is made of a double shell: glass walls as an inner shell, and a layer of "airy" stone shell, built as a fabric that surrounds the building, with transparency and lightness. The outer shell creates a unique look that corresponds with a long-standing tradition of building in Jerusalem stone and at the same time gives it a new interpretation. Here the Hebrew language is represented as a living and developing organic entity, moving between tradition and innovation, constitutive of culture, society, and identity.

Proposal for Jerusalem Entrance Nur Studio In collaboration with Miller Bloom Landscape Architect Ltd Invited competition The sculpture consists of two silver objects - an array of arches and a winding metal line, which intertwine. The line exits the body of the mountain, parallel to the road, circling and pointing upwards. The beam has three terraces, whose function is double - supporting the structure, and serving as a background for the inscription "Jerusalem" in three languages (Hebrew, Arabic, and English). The line corresponds with the road, mentions it in its shape, length and movement. The winding line passes through an array of arches. The arch as an architectural-sculptural element symbolizes stability, which is in contrast to the erupting dynamics of the line. The arches are a kind of symbolic entrance gate to the city and commemorate the arch typical of Jerusalem architecture and the sacred buildings of the city.

The sculpture is designed to be viewed from different points of view along the road. The slope of the mountain is supported by composite stone terraces typical of the Jerusalem mountains, including a grove of local vegetation. The sculpture changes its face between a day and a night. During the day its volume and materiality are conspicuous, and it looks like a silver jewel adorning the mountain, while at night it becomes a festive line of light depicted in space.

Proposal for a traffic square in Sderot Nur Studio Open competition Two and a half arches made of thin corten steel plates create an airy and light structure that grows from the ground. The base of the structure is a steel skeleton that forms a small hill, made of earth, grass, and gravel. The protective hill and arches look and function as one complete and organic unit. The structure of the arches creates a variety of light and shadow games that change throughout the day and give the square a different look at every hour and from every direction.

Plan

Master Plan | Hartman Institute YBGSNA Architetcs, Jerusalem Professional practice 2019-2021 Project manager: Galit Shifman Project scale: 6,000 m2 The Shalom Hartman Institute is an academic institute for Jewish studies located in the heart of Jerusalem. The main campus was built in the 1990s and includes four 2-story buildings that include 1 executive offices, research rooms, a library, seminar rooms, a study hall, and a cafeteria.

The main challenge in planning the master plan was to produce a plan that would double the institute's areas while maintaining its intimate character, shady courtyards, and2 pleasant patios. Additional floors on top of existing buildings were added, and construction of a new fifth building has been made.

The buildings are organized around patios and shaded pastoral courtyards that are well integrated into the mountainous topography of the city. Over the years, the institute's needs have changed, but no new areas were added.

In the planning of the master plan, I led a team of consultants required to plan the expansion and to adjust safety, accessibility, fire, and escape standards that have changed over the years. I led the planning from the initial stage and which is currently in bureaucratic processes with municipal authorities.

Study Hall | Hartman Institute YBGSNA Architetcs, Jerusalem Professional practice 2020-2021 Project manager: Galit Shifman Project scale: 700 m2 Project cost: � 1,500,000 As part of the master plan, the institute realized that a renovation of the study hall was to be carried out. The study hall was designed as a 20 by 20 meter long square with a pyramid-shaped roof. Inside the square is an octagonal block that created an octagonal central space and triangular seminar rooms in the corners of the building when the only light opening of the was a skylight in the pyramidal ceiling. The seminar rooms were not useful enoug and the central space of the study hall was too small. The campus was not accessible, its mountainous nature made it difficult to access, and the institute had to incorporate an elevator in the study hall building.

Plan of the study hall

The new design of the study hall included the demolition of its entire interior, the demolition of the seminary rooms and the creation of one large space that added another 100 square meters to the study hall. An elevator was added at the back. The planning included a detailed design of master carpentry - libraries and wood paneling. Designing the study hall was also a technical challenge, as all the systems (sound, lighting and advanced media) of the building were redesigned and integrated into the new architecture. I was in charge of the project and accompanied it from the first stage of understanding the requirements and the program, after mechanization of early planning, systems coordination to detailed planning of building details and master carpentry. The building was delivered in August 2021.

Northern Entrance | Hartman Institute YBGSNA Architetcs, Jerusalem Professional practice 2020-2021 Project manager: Galit Shifman Project scale: 40 m2 Project cost: � 10,000 The northern entrance serves as the main entrance to the campus. Today the entrance is through an iron gate, with a guard sitting in a small and crowded cell controlling it. After passing the gate the visitors enter a portico of pillars that supports a tiled roof that leads them to the various buildings. The entrance does not look like the entrance to a reputable academic institute. The proposal tries to keep the existing quality design and integrate it gently with the changes needed. A lightweight roof that connects to the existing tiled roof was added. The security guard stands behind a counter in the open pavilion and greets the visitors. The iron gates were removed and glass walls were placed in their place.

The program provided by the institute included seminar rooms, a cafeteria, and research rooms. The challenge was to add a new three-story building without changing the balance on the existing campus consisting of two-story buildings. We were required to preserve the system of gardens and open courtyards. We were also required to plan a building that would align with the old style, but at the same time would bring a fresh design to the heavy Jerusalem style. I joined the planning team from the initial stage of formulating the program for the building, took part in formulating a design language for the building, and worked with a constructor and other consultants on coordinating the systems.

It is now housed in an old building that does not meet the changing needs of the school. The institute's management wanted the building to have the characteristics of the existing buildings on the institute's main campus. On the top floor there is a roof terrace that serves as a green seating area and is open to the sky. The facade of the building is covered with Jerusalem stone and is reminiscent of the institute's buildings with tall windows and typical stone details. The upper floor of the building is covered with a glass curtain wall that breaks the heaviness of the Jerusalem stone. A concrete roof protrudes from the roof of the building to provide shading to the transparent façade. I joined the project in the initial stages of formulating the program for the school, developing a design concept, preparing permit plans, and preparing a donor portfolio.
