In this semester, the urban environment of the project and its contribution to the complex urban system were examined, in a wide scale.
At the beginning of the semester we examined the idea of the ideal city and served as a satellite exercise that accompanied the products during it. My ideal city relates to the wandering experience in the city described by Kevin Lynch.
During the semester I studied the systems that make up the city of Jerusalem in an attempt to diagnose the connections that take place between these systems.
The anti-cul de sac project deals with the experience of merging these systems, and turns the roaming experience into an unstoppable one.
The project attempts to propose a structural thesis that can connect between completely different areas in the city, placing it in the complex site where it is located, as a case study of its success in an attempt to connect the various areas of the city with changing variations.
בסמסטר זה נבחנה הסביבה האורבנית של הפרויקט ותרומתו למערכת העירונית המורכבת, בקנ"מ רחב.
בתחילת הסמסטר נבחן רעיון העיר האידיאלית, ושימש כתרגיל לוויני שליווה את התוצרים במהלכו,העיר האידיאלית שלי מתייחסת לחווית השוטטות בעיר אותה מתאר קווין לינץ'.
במהלך הסמסטר בחנתי את המערכות שמרכיבות את העיר ירושלים,בניסיון לאבחן את החיבורים שמתרחשים בין אותן מערכות.
הפרויקט 'אנטי כול דה סאק', עוסק בניסיון התפירה של אותן מערכות, והפיכת חווית השוטטות לנהירה ובלתי ניתנת לעצירה.
הפרויקט מנסה להציע תזה מערכתית-מבנית שתוכל לקשר בין איזורים שונים בתכלית בעיר,הצבתו באתר המורכב בו הוא ממוקם משמשת כמקרה בוחן להצלחתו בניסיון לקשר בין איזוריה השונים של העיר בווריאציות משתנות.
Gardens of Human&nature
Final project thesis | B.Arch. | 2021.
Directors: led by: Arch Yuval Yasky, Arch Ganit Mayslits Kassif,Arch Hila Shemer, Arch Yigal Tartakovsky.
The garden is a planned place, a place that represents forms of nature, and expresses a mirror to human culture and life.
The garden tries to produce control, it uses both natural and artificial means.
"How can we use the garden as a tool for solving urban social and ecological problems?"
The project takes place in Tel Aviv, which was planned as a Garden City.
When I examined the typologies of the gardens in Tel Aviv, I saw that there are those that refer to natural landscapes: green boulevards, squares, metropolitan natural area, beach, and there are those that refer to cultural landscapes: cemeteries, amphitheaters, sports fields, cultural gardens. (Segal, 2016)
The project aims to use the garden as a tool for solving urban social and ecological problems.
This examined by planning 5 types of gardens in the city, some representing cultural landscapes and some natural landscapes.
Floods in Tel Aviv - The problem of flooding in Tel Aviv is a direct result of the depletion of natural areas in the city, in 1945 the percentage of open areas was 19.8%, in 2007 this percentage dropped to 8.2% of city areas and in 2025 is expected to reach 5.9% of total metropolitan area. Tel Aviv-Yafo Building City Plan, 1946)
At the municipal scale, there are two interesting phenomena that are a derivative of water management in the city.
On a day-to-day basis the dirty water of the buildings in the cities is taken to water treatment centers which clean them and discharge some of them into the river in a controlled manner and some are used for agriculture. (Yarkon River Authority, 2020)
According to surveys conducted at these institutes in recent years, the river is at too high a flow all year round (Yarkon River Authority, 2019).
Beyond that, sea level is expected to rise by 1-3 meters by the end of the 21st century and by half a meter by 2040. (Rosen, 2003), which requires a mediate action.
Flooding's in Gush Dan- schemes
In extreme rainfall events that occur averagely once in a winter each year, municipal runoff is drained from the built environment to the rivers and from there to the sea. The water that tries to go out through the river into the sea causes the river level to rise and its inability to do so, which causes the water to return to the sources of the Yarkon and flood entire areas located in the area of the Ayalon / Yarkon rivers and their surroundings. (Yarkon River Authority, 2019)
These phenomena cause large sea pollution which occurs as a result of the rapid flow of municipal runoff water to the sea and damage to property / people. (Yarkon River Authority, 2019.
The project offers a theme Garden that deals with the problem of flooding in Tel Aviv and the high flow level of the Yarkon River.
The project tries to alleviate the problem through redesign of the river channel
and by using landscaping tools and built structures that are deployed along it.
The proposed design includes a wetland area, an ecological swimming pool on the banks of the river,
the use of the Yarkon Peninsula to increase the cross-section of the river and the conversion of the Reading parking lot into a natural area.
Structures along the Yarkon river- views
The proposed design produces a new plan for managing the Yarkon water and its immediate surroundings by using landscape design tools and structural designs at several points along the park.
