My Project was born when I first discovered Givon square which fascinated me since I moved to Tel-Aviv. I explored throughout the year the concept of the void in the city and how it can be transformed into an urban square.
Through this project I explored my capacity as an architect to design new facades to main streets that envelop my new urban square. I planned the street for the pedestrian, trying to think of the way we walk in a city, in a street, under a colonnade, in a square... but I also adresed the larger scale of the street itself, playing with materials and confronting the void versus the built.
The external elevations express the rythm and the characteristics of each of the surrounding streets, whereas the inner elevations accentuate a communication between the pedestrian who's passing by and the inhabitants of the square with different angles and views, disvovering places at each corner. The square is rich in all its dimensions and the floor plays with various levels that were created in order to accentuate the identity of each area.
