Hello! I’m Bar, A 5th year student of Architecture and Education, about to graduate. Passionate about architecture as it enables me to view the world in multiple perspectives, which sparks new ways of thinking how space makes an impact on people’s everyday lives. I believe in creating spaces that integrate with their surroundings and enrich the social-cultural fabric through innovative design, functional efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

01. Residential Neighborhood in Acre

A residential project in the north of Acre, and to the south of the Nirim youth village- for teens at risk. The project takes place in a flat area by the sea.

The project concept is inspired by the old city of Acre, which has historical, cultural and touristic values. The city is bounded by sea water on its southeast and southwest sides and surrounded by a wall.

I studied the phenomenon of the scattering of rocks on the beach and their interaction with the sea, and thus I developed the concept of the ‘black masses’ and studied how they can be turned into architecture. The concept creates a tension between heavy and light elements, expressed in the form and materiality of the buildings.

The structures are divided into ‘rocks’ with different functions that separate different residential areas and some of them function as solar chimneys that I designed to encourage passive ventilation and greener and more pleasant living in the Mediterranean climate. Between the ‘rocks’ there are living spaces that are brighter and lighter in terms of materials.

SOLAR CHIMNEY

A system for heating, cooling and ventilation of a building,inspired by the biomimicry of a termite nest can be used toregulate the temperature of the building and provide ventilation.

Planning principles:

Materials - concrete or bricks

Dark color - to minimize the amount of sunlight reflected from the chimney

Transfer of cold air through a pipe buried under the groundThe air in the pipe cools underground and is eventually drawn through the building to the chimney where it is heated and released.

02. When Ground Meets The Canal

This project offers a new center in the port of Dusseldorf in Germany, intended for academic studies, offices and businesses, with accommodation, guest rooms, and a new urban park.

The concept is inspired by the idea of innovation, movement, development and flow. The movement was created from a combination of the existing urban facade together with the bank of the canal. The goal of the project is to attract people to this port area. The program creates a traffic system from one end to the other and a traffic system that crosses the building from the canal to the train, which is both the system of vertical passages and a passage to the new urban park. In the middle there is a large display space of the art and creations of the place. It's a meeting point of the different function types and a mixed place for both the city users and the students.

The structure is characterized by a hierarchy in several aspects. First, there is a material hierarchy, featuring three main types of materials ranging from the heavy mass of the laboratories to the delicate transparency of glass walls. Additionally, there is a functional hierarchy in the arrangement of these materials and spaces within the building.

03. Housing and Nature- Coexistence

This project takes place next to architects Munio Gitai and Al Mansfeld’s modernist housing complex in Ramat Hadar, Haifa. It was part of the construction boom that gripped the young country in the 1950s. It aspired towards quick housing solutions utilizing the principles of modernism while keeping with the ideological spirit of the time. There is room for a reexamination of the housing complex’s relationship to the local landscape from a contemporary perspective.

The site of the housing complex, the Carmel Mountains- a mountainous topography next to the sea- is a habitat for unique flora and fauna. My project offers a living space that combines workplaces and dedicated research institute for environmental conservation and development. The design is based on internal courtyards that will create communal spaces inspired by projects that architect Munio Gitai designed in the early kibbutzim. The project’s facades draw inspiration from the division into patterns and the careful composition that Gitai and Mansfeld developed in their buildings in Haifa. This is characterized by the design concept that externalizes the construction, and contrasts the building’s concrete structural elements with the surface inlay facings.

This proposal- residences that merge with, enjoy, and preserve the nature space- offers a complementary and corrective alternative to the architectural rigidity of the modernist housing hastily constructed in the state’s first decade.

This project was exhibited at ‘The Israel Museum’ in Jerusalem, Israel 2022-2023.

04. Regaining Waterfront

An urbanic project in Haifa. The idea started with the understanding that the city is blocked or stopped at the port. From the physical point of view, the residents don’t have access to the sea, and also in terms of perspective, when we look at the sea, our sight is blurred between the giant ships, the train and the cranes. We can see that there is some kind of disconnection between the residential neighborhoods and the sea.

The project deals with the issue of returning the sea to the city and its residents. The idea is to expand Kiryat Eliyahu and Kiryat Eliezer neighborhoods towards the sea and to change the orientation of the existing grid towards the sea while creating continuity of the civil port towards Bat Galim neighborhood.

In this project there are 4 main urban centers of mixed use- culture, commercial, industry, residences and a central square facing the sea. The transition between these centers creates a connection of the port area and Bat Galim neighborhood. This creates a new urban texture for the residents.

This project was exhibited at ‘The Dusseldurf Museum’ in Germany 2023.

05. Wooden Floak

This project features the development of a complex structure composed by a custom component and connectors.

In this project, we aimed to explore the limits of wood as a material, resulting in the creation of a unique component. Throughout the process, we experimented with various methods of utilizing this component, employing custom connectors at precise and carefully measured angles, which give different options for duplicating the component and thus creating different possible structures.

06. Arad Central

The project takes place in the center of the desert city of Arad and deals with the relationship between the community in Arad and its public space. The project was created from the exploration of the area by observations and mappings and in-depth study of articles.

In Arad there is a diverse community that cares about the desert city and works for changes that benefit the citizens. We studied the relationship between the public space - the designer - and the community, while we studied precedents with similar issues and thus distilled several principles for the planning of the new public space in Arad.

The project deals with idea of architectural affordances and examines how community can influence the architecture. In our designs, we developed a language that combines the basic mass that will reside in the existing center. Among the basic mass, we designed places with structural infrastructures that would allow the intervention of the community as they wished. We have developed an infrastructure for action and intervention with defined boundaries within the foundation.
