High HighWay | Atlasova Alisa

Tel Aviv is a city, with it's unique views, architecture and rhythms. This project attempts to asses the option of a new unique space in Tel Aviv. The project offers an alternative to a place witch has been forgotten in the collective memory of the city due to it's becoming a central artery of transportation witch has literally ran over the Ayalon brook and the urban potential it has. To day the city level is reached by rising from the Ayalon Highways level to it, the projects action is simple, to the cities level you'll descend. Meaning that the Ayalon Highways will be lifted and the space beneath it, the Ayalon brook and it's banks will be freed. The "Alayon Highway" is created. The new elevation frees the brook and allows it's direct connection to the city. A great building capacity is formed under the "Alayon Highway" so is formed an urban continuity between the brooks banks. The building conditions beneath the "Alayon Highway" are filled with limitations such as it's constructive system, the brook, the train rail line and all its different levels. These limitations have all been converted in to advantages by creative planning. The road is not concealed; it is not hidden, or carelessly canceled. On the contrary, the road fulfils it's potential as an urban object, as an exhibit placed on a pedestal above the city with all it's dynamic and plastic characteristics accentuated.
