JERUSALEM

Final project | Year 5

In the information age, high-tech offices are increasingly becoming the first home of their employees. Employers' efforts to ease their workload have produced a modern configuration of a "company city" in the form of an envelope of needs and indulgences to channel the concentration and productivity of their employees. Amazon's JeruZone campus in Jerusalem bridges the employer's demanding aspirations with a sufficient envelope for its employees, while maximizing productivity in the three levels of life: personal, professional, and everything in between. The program consists of offices, residential apartments, and recreational areas that are the center and essence of the building. The recreational areas include restaurants, cafes, a gym, kindergartens, and a community courtyard. A design tailored to Amazon's general headquarters in the Middle East will inspire motivation, belonging, and meaning; maintain loyalty, and encourage creativity; in a space that unites and enables.

HOMES FOR REFUGEES

Urban planning in Berlin Year 4

Belonging to a roof – a shelter from the cold and a corner of warmth and privacy, character and uniqueness – its shape, manner and living conditions under it, together maintain a circle of influence that is the first in importance to a person on earth. Even easier for a refugee, an exile with his own spirit. His entire world was destroyed on a rainy day, his home left behind, until an unknown day and possibly forever. Therefore, the responsibility in the architect's design is enhanced. With sensitivity and consideration for his essential needs, it is possible to pretend and take him out of his "exile". With compassion and humility, allow the new "resident" to feel a little more "at home", to be a springboard for a brighter day

Since the civil war in Syria began in March 2011, the UN has reported that more than 11 million refugees have been forced to flee, destitute and battered by war. About half of them have crossed its borders, hoping to find a safe haven. Most of them have arrived at the gates of Asia and Europe, and several cities are seeking to house and integrate them. In my approach to the project, the primary goal is to give the refugees a face and personality, which will be embodied in the design. Through it, to create decent housing, in an attempt to assimilate into the local population and provide them with a platform for growth. The project offers an alternative to the UN refugee camps, in the form of decent housing for war refugees.

TRUTH MUSEUM | RESEARCH CENTER

Museum and archeology site | Year 3

Planning a museum in the Western Wall plaza

The entrance floor to the museum will serve as a corridor to the Hall of Wonder. Upon entering the foyer, the visitor will be asked to cast aside the hardships of the day, their worries and concerns, and with them their prejudices, anger and bitterness.

The second floor will be a springboard on the way to the process, and will provide the visitor with tools to realize the experience ahead.

The next four floors are the center of the content, each one beginning with a period and a theme that emerges from it and continuing into the present day, towards a challenging and unmediated encounter between the visitor and complex questions on a personal and general level.

The seventh and final floor will allow for an observation of the contemporary Jerusalem environment from a new and naive perspective, as if all moral issues and generational problems had been resolved. It will allow for a moment of peace of mind, and a breath of the air of the peaks.

Finally, a 'freefall' in the elevator back to contemporary reality and the level of everyday life will be like a 'contradiction to the face' and will leave visitors more puzzled and thoughtful than they arrived.

GREY WATER | GREEN LIFE

Urban planning in Tel Aviv | Year 2

Planning of community residences on Eilat Street in Tel Aviv
Urban gardens are the available and immediate response to city residents, who constitute the majority of the population of the State of Israel, for recreation and relaxation in their residential environment and for ensuring the quality of urban life. Gardens provide a response to many human needs: the experience of nature, the possibility of rest and relaxation in the residential environment on the one hand, but also a space for physical activity on the other, a meeting place for the individual and the community, and a place that influences the creation of the image and atmosphere of the residential area.
