Rachel Lewertowski Blanche / Green Spiral


-       The New Tahana Merkazit of Tel Aviv, as a complete Open Space –



The concept is simple and radical. Keeping the buses platforms that surround the enormous building, while completely destroying the inner space of the Train Station.

Dark and hard to perceive, all this interior space spread over seven floors, is destroyed and compact to fill the three first floors located under the ground.
Hence,  we obtain a large and straight open and public place, that connect each corner of the Train Station.
Really efficient, the platform system located around this open space, is simple and allow us to turn around it, from the fourth, until the last and seven floor.

The idea is to bring back to this enormous building, an easy orientation and a large quantity of light. During the «Derive experience », we noticed that a huge amount of people are actually using the Tahana Merkazit as an main and central activity area. But it concerns unfortunatly only a specific part of the population that lives in the neighbourhood. Creating a really clear system while destroying the interior space and keeping the buses platform, would consequently bring back a human scale to the building.

The open air activities, dedicated to the inhabitants, are spread all around the beton platforms, all connected to each other.










 - The topographical question, and where the building is connected to the street level - 























  - Preliminary Study - Uses and traffics











- Development of the concept -













Therefore, the Tahana Merkzit become a real open and green spiral in the South of Tel Aviv.
