The project is based on the concept of "Decadence": cultural or systemic failure, negligence, or collapse.

The question is: Can new trends advance without predefined targets; innovative, natural tendencies, which would be better suited and adaptable to life? The previous layers would then coexist and serve as fertile grounds for the new roots of enhanced trends that would better serve present-day necessities.

Healing Decadence - possible approaches:

1. Uprooting the decaying structure to enable new development.

2. Specific treatment of decaying areas.

3. The approach I chose, intervention by creating impactful tactics that utilize the existing layers whilst building an innovative dialogue with the environment.

I chose to apply this approach to the city of Akko.

The project spotlights the Mandatory Quarter of the city of Akko. It focuses on linking the Mediterranean Sea to the city through the Ben Ami route, and on renewing the historical aqueduct, which merges between Kabri and the Old City by creating junctures. A trial is conducted to enmesh the Decadence of the Ben Ami route while charging the grid to create a fresher and more attractive impact, while adding a new flavor to the city.

The project focuses on 3 neighborhoods of the Mandatory Quarter:

1.  The intersection of the Ben Ami route and the historical aqueduct.

2. The intersection of the Ben Ami route and Weizmann Street towards the Old City.

3. The Sea and the Ben Ami route.
