The Rural Strip

steert view white.jpg

The character of the the 21st century village raises many questions about the basic goals of rural areas in Israel.
those were set up to encourage agricultural land work and Jewish settlements.
Today, this area is characterized by houses that extend over large [if not huge] areas, with a very low mental tax rate relative to the urban space.

The Agriculture profession that flourished in the 1950s and allowed private individuals to receive large areas of land from the state is no longer relevant as it used to be, today only 10% of the population in the Mateh Yehuda Jewish Council is engaged in agriculture.In the 21st century where work is mostly occurring in the office with technological tools, and mostly located in urban environments, the village has become a detached enclave that does not allow growth in which young people can develop, it allows mainly established people to live in it, and the phrase "quality of life" is no longer that accurate

.However, there are important values that have brought many young people [financially capable] to come to those villages and live in them. These values express thoughts of isolation from the population - "quiet" as defined by many of them.The same quiet is exaggerated by the image of a single cabin in the woods that no neighbors or buildings with useful programs see, which does not rely on the vehicle to get out of the village every day, but lives in one place, where everything happens and there is no reason to leave.The project Offers a number of private ground-level buildings that are elevated from the street height and hidden behind "high-rise" buildings to create a feeling of isolation and face to nature, rather than the street.Socialist values that were 'lost' to the Moshav can now have a place in the project, the private plot that used to belong to A family, is now public and allows passage for anyone who wants it, the pool that served the family home becomes a public pool [for the whole population] It is also important in protecting homes from fires in the area that are common in recent years.

The project offers several typologies in the area: A "high-rise" building  which examines the possibility of growth in height and turning the facade looking towards the public area into an "urban" characterized. A two-story building which is divided between 2 street levels.One-story building with private agricultural areaA pair of one-story buildings with a common agricultural areaA Single storey building adjacent to public pool.A Private agricultural structure.These allow for a variety of versatile options that will cater to a variety of populations of different ages and will allow for different types of land ownership as well as different farming practices, which will ultimately allow for growth of the area.
