Terra Nova Urban Planning

By:  | October - 9 - 2015

The city of Beer Sheva, in south Israel, expresses the modernist object and the modern mortal perception. This city’s thesis, located in the desert – Arab – Mediterranean area, creates an imbalanced gap between the local native conceptual spirit and the eastern European modernist urban planning; allowing inserting “external” thesis  spatial – Mediterranean, to create a sustainable urban space, that will expresses the conceptual native properly and the complexity of the mortal appearance phenomenon. The project relates to questions regarding the dwelling space perception and the ex-territorial city space.

The compression concept raises the question of being and existence of the individual-mortal in the internal and external space. Density \ response compression is creation of a new chemical bond as a response to adding a certain molecules to individual molecules. Similar to the process of diamond formation in nature: Carbon atoms, located internal spaces underground, becoming a diamond when pressures with high-temperature come into underground spaces and act on carbon within the boundaries of that internal space and together it obtained a diamond. Hence, we can interpret the formation of urban space as a phenomenon that can be expanse by inserting external phenomenon to a certain place for creating the complexity of a urban surface and redefinition it space, similar to the complexity of the mortal appearance phenomenon in nature. The project include planning of 3000 apartment, schools, commercial. urban gardens, streets and roads in a 200 acres
