Description: An urban design competition for the regeneration of Ziv center, an urban fabric in the center of Jerusalem. The task included the densification of the entire intervention area, the expansion of the existing educational functions and integration of new activities such as commerce, residential housing and recreation. The proposal offers to create a mixed-use community complex that connects to the environmental context and serves as an urban link that encourages encounter and joint activity. The design is based on a sequence of intimate squares that regulate traffic, centralize the various uses and make the entire complex an integral part of the urban landscape and daily life of Jerusalem. An array of different public areas promotes a hybrid complex, open to different audiences and diverse activities. The plan creates an infrastructure based on the principles of placemaking, mixed uses, diversity, and connectivity while encouraging connections between the various communities and designing inviting spaces that promote a healthy and green environment. The variety of intersections between the functions, public areas and communities create a space for the community, which will continue, develop and be built by it in the future.
