I believe Architecture is art, and only art. But, it’s a very funny kind of art. Perhaps more of a not-so-exact science. It’s fed by real life, everyday, and driven by force of necessity. It reacts to our concurs, and limited by our constraints. Whatever it is, it’s the way you tell a story, that makes all the difference.
Below you will find selected architectural works as well as additional films.
“As an architect, at 10 o’clock in the mourning you need to be a poet, for sure. But, at 11, you must become a humanist, otherwise you lose your direction. And at noon, you absolutely need to be a builder.”

Today, rather than minimizing health
problems, Zoning actually creates them.
In order to combat these phenomena,
radical action is required in the site’s master
plan infrastructure. An action that will enable
new, sustainable urban planning, whose
components operate as a single ecosystem.

This project is dedicated to the art of story-

Developing a new tool for the representation and
performance of design. A creative process that
can translate architectural information and context
into a singular abstract language, and then from it
to extract The New. An interdisciplinary and holistic
system, combining two disciplines without
compromising the identity of either. A two-way
track of open communication and creation.

This is not a fictional film.
There is a place called KIbbutz Elifaz.
It is not our task either to accuse or to pardon,
but only to understand

“I am the remains of planning and
architecture,
a relic from the beginning of zionism.
Without me there would be no israeli project.”
This film was made as a part of the ‘National
Digital Archive’. Under the National Library’s
Architecture department.
