WORK EXPERIENCE

YGAA- Gutman Assif Architects

YGAA is an architecture practice based in Tel Aviv, Israel. An energetic architecture and urban design firm, practicing a wide range of domains and scales. Combining creative impulse, with public sensibility, we think of space and urban solutions, by collection and processing environmental, economic and social data. In each project we challenge and redefine building typologies, urban infrastructure and programs to suit the client, user and city needs. By constant change and innovation we create living, working, learning and leisure environments – fresh and great to use.

Plot 127 - Residential, Commercial & Offices Tower- Gutman Assif Architects

Location: Bat-Yam

Under construstion

Residential, office, Hotel and commercial tower.

The design of the tower poses challenges of integrating a complex program designed for different uses using a continuous vertical scheme. For the past two years I have been leading a team of architects for detailed design.

The tower is now under construction and the works are expected to be completed in 2025

D-MARS is a space analog research center in Israel, in which analog astronauts go on a scientific journey of exploration that simulates an actual mission on the surface of the planet Mars. Today, space analogs are becoming well-developed sectors of space science disciplines, used to train future human explorers, test related hardware and make space more accessible to the general public.

As mankind stretches its frontiers into outer space, Mars may become the focus of our endeavors. Human missions to Mars will gradually be replaced by larger exploratory groups, which will pave the way to settlement on the Red Planet. The Mars New Kibbutz (MarsKibu) concept design to settle 1000 people on Mars can lead to a self-sustained environment in terms of energy, water, food, and waste management. The MarsKibu will generate value from Earth space tourism and use the resources generated to acquire necessary earth goods for the operation of the Mars habitat.
