The project was nominated for the finals of the "Shahar Ziv" Award.

​

The studio guidelines were:

1. Planning in an historic site - the "Greek Triangle".

2. Enlarge the density for a floor area ratio of 5.

The studio's goal was to examine whether it is possible to combine these two guidelines. 

Within the "Greek Triangle", we chose a "neglected" area, an edge, which creates an unresolved border with both its sides. However, it has the potential of connecting the future light train station and the main streets in the north, as a gate to the neighborhood.

The project is in large scale and includes mixed uses: housing, offices by the hour, kindergartens, commerce and craft, restaurants and leisure, a health clinic, and an underground parking lot.

With the contextual architectural tools, such as 0 building line, inner courtyards, alleys, multiple entries, terraces, and various different solutions, we tried to understand whether it is possible to insert the new while conserving, and even strengthening, the old and the present.
