Frenkel 76 New Residential Building 2016 Tel Aviv 636 sqm Complete A new building in the Florentin neighbourhood. The design faced a limited and narrow lot, and the ability to maintain a residential structure that includes all the systems needed in such a space cell, while fitting the complex planning reality in Israel, which requires protected spaces and strict safety procedures. The project questions the possible limits in this framework, without losing qualities in the living spaces. photography: Tamir Rogowski

Biennale Architettura 2014 – Absorbing Modernity: 1914-2014. Israel An interview with Keren Yeala Golan and Roy Brand at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition (National Participation of Israel: “The Urburb”).

Venice Biennale 2014: Israel Explores The Urburb, a Neither Urban nor Suburban Landscape Neither urban nor suburban, the Urburb is a fragmented mosaic of one hundred years of modernist planning in Israel : early twentieth century garden-cities, mid-century social housing and generic, high-rise residential typologies of the past two decades. These residential mutations dominate the contemporary Israeli landscape, expanding and replacing existing textures, in an endless, repetitive cycle. The driving force in the planning and building of the new country was essentially anti-urban. From the first Jewish settlements of the nineteenth century, the city was never an option. The initial Sharon Master Plan from 1951 aimed at dislocating the urban centers and spreading the population into numerous readymade towns, often built in rural areas. These sparsely populated New Towns often adopted arbitrary building plans lacking any form of street life. The Sharon Plan attempted to accelerate a long-term historical process in one heroic decade. Indeed, over four hundred towns were quickly erected according to the Plan’s guidelines. This top-down approach is emblematic not only of the Zionist ideal of centralized planning, but also of the modernist desire to constantly reshape and reinvent the present. Israel’s hybrid landscape manifests the conflicting demands of the modernist machine: to create small egalitarian communities while accommodating large and diverse populations, to spread-out while closing in, and to reconnect to the land but through a planning system that treats the surface as a blank sheet of paper. Urburb, a neologism referring to the contemporary mesh of urban and suburban sprawl, is more than an architectural phenomenon, it is a state of mind and a form of life. Today, in the wake of one hundred years of modernism, it is time to explore its dynamics and understand the life it has fostered. The installation explores these themes not only through the data displayed but also through its performative affect. The visitor enters a modernist construction site, filled with automatic machines that sketch on sand, erase, and sketch again. Each scenario takes about three to five minutes, and every printer presents a few scenarios grouped under one theme—overplanning, evolution of buildings, pattern language, and erase and print dynamics.

Rosh Pina 2-4 Residential Buildings 2016 Tel Aviv 2300 sqm Before execution Planning for two new residential buildings in the Central Station area

THE URBURB The Israeli Pavilion 2014 The exhibition, curated by Ori Shalom together with Roy Brand and Keren Yaela Golan, presented a summary of a century of modernist architecture in Israel. In the last hundred years, the Israeli space has been used and written down to the last detail in a recurring operation as a blank sheet, all over again every time. In the contemporary Israeli landscape, the familiar dichotomy of a city and a suburb was blurred for the URB URB – a new hybrid creation, neither a city nor a suburb, but an island constructed mosaic. This concept was displayed in the exhibition in a simple and straightforward way: four printers outlined images on desert sand and then erased them. The scale of images printed on the sand varies: city plans, neighborhoods, and residential buildings.
