Zoning Heart of the settlement: collective buildings, education, and municipality.

Residential zone. producing zone.

All function of living located next to each other in very small scale.

One spatial sequence The kibbutz space planning, seeks to create one spatial sequence, communal, borderless between collective to individual and between neighbors.

The landscape is the space, and the houses embedded within.

”Extended house” The kibbutz can be described as a house, an extended house for an extended family.

A house comprised of many different kinds of rooms with different levels of individuality and collectivism natures:

”Extended house”

Collective rooms

Children’s houses

How can its nature be redefined by architectural means?

Connecting the ideology and the planning perceptions upon which the Kibbutz was founded to the needs of the present.

A new model for housing and residential neighborhoods on kibbutz: I intend to introduce new type of structure, an architectural and spatial structure, rests upon the values and the qualities of the historical space, but offers new residential solutions for the modern needs of the individual, without harming the unique kibbutz tapestry.

Stretched ring Keeping the zoning concept.

An intermediate zone spread between the housing ring to the producing zone, Contains most of the buildings from the kibbutz early days, which intend for preservation.

Landscape & Housing

Two main components composed the system: landscape and housing. The landscape is the space and the housing embedded within, creating new legality and relation between indoor and outdoor space.

Outdoor Rooms The “large Lawn” The central square. The place at which we gather together from all corners of the Kibbutz on weeknights, on holiday eves, on days of sadness and on joyous occasions.

Shaded in a difference tones each time, yet always connecting us together, as one, big family.

Outdoor Rooms Intermediate Lawns Lawns have names, they are used as a meeting point and as a landmark location. their official position Never defined, but being spread anywhere they merge between all the rooms into one continuous fabric.

Outdoor Rooms Intimate Garden To play, to eat supper, to sit with mom and dad, to entertain, to read the paper and to go inside only after nightfall.

The garden is another room of the house.

Shortcuts

“I remember myself, little girl, walking alone, crossing in my own route the lawns that stretched all the way from the children’s house to my parents room” The lawns are always alongside the paths, until sometimes, without notice, become the path itself.

The Dining Room- is the heart of the house The dining room is like a secular synagogue. Everyone attends it three times a day. All of the official meetings take place here, too. But, most of all, it serves as the place for direct, daily encounters.This is where your individuality fades and you become a particular of the community.

Path of staircase, is like the little sidewalk.

On the sidewalk leading to the building, I already felt “at home”.

A piece of pathway branches out to the “parents room”, like a gateway leading into another world, a capsule of protection within the never-ending collective space.

The role of the walls is to protect, to guard and to separate the individual from the collective; to create a gradual progression of physical and mental spaces of intimacy.

External envelope: first layer of individuality, Defining the boundaries of “the open house” and creates intimacy for the rooms Internal envelope: second layer of individuality.

Wraps around the intimate, family space; opens up to the heart of “the open house” and is protected from the collective space In the Individual zone, External envelope: collecting all the individuals within one communal space.

The Children room

Children room: In the children house The Corridor - Was connecting between all the bedrooms.

This is the place to get together right before bedtime and in the middle of the night, when you can’t sleep.

Leading to the telephone, the intercom, the bathroom and outside to your parent’s place The Room - had four walls, a hallway door, a window with a curtain in the back, 4 beds, 4 nightstands, 4 night lights.

It is possible to close the door, but no one ever does.

The Bed and the Nightstand - were the only personal space for privacy in the entire room; in the entire children’s house.

The bed behind the door is always the one most in demand.

In the individual zone: The Intermediate Open Spaces – is ”the corridor”, the direct communal space.

The Walls contain the “social” functions and turn towards the communal space, leaving the bedroom as the minimal required space of intimacy and privacy.

“Doors were never locked, and when we did start to lock them, everyone knew where the keys were, under the planter, the tablecloth, the doormat.”
