The investigation takes place in North Tel-Aviv and is conducted in three parts: Background and polemic - a discussion of the development of the urban ideas and of the physical form in North Tel-Aviv; The problem - a documentation and analysis of the existing context; and An alternative - a design exploration of a typical neighborhood. / by Rachel Admati Kallus. / M.Arch.

Tel Aviv is a rapidly changing city. Since its establishment only a century ago, the city has developed into an innovation hub, rich with culture and architectural history. Part of its hasty evolution from the land of sand dunes to the current metropolis was the construction of the Tel Aviv New Central Bus Station, the largest bus station in the world at the time of completion. Almost three decades after Israeli Architect Ram Karmi designed the station, it opened in 1993, already nicknamed the “white elephant” due to its scale and lack of integration into the surrounding neighborhood of Neve Sha’anan. The New Central Bus Station never met the architect’s intended vision of “a city under a roof” and has significantly transformed over the years, as an attempt to create purpose within the large mass. Neve Sha’anan, in south Tel Aviv, is the poorest area of the city, ridden with homelessness, prostitution and drug addiction. It is also the home to the majority of the African refugee and asylum seeker community i Israel, making up less than half a percent of the population of the country. The small community has been the target of recent refugee policy reforms, which frame them as “infiltrators” or “labor migrants.” 1 The New Central Bus Station fractures the urban environment of Neve Sha’anan and causes spatial disorientation of a community already faced with cultural marginalization. Through an analysis of the impact that top down decision making causing cultural conflict has on architecture and place making, this thesis sets to develop a solution for intervention, which considers the users and urban context as a source for re-configuring existing infrastructure. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu

In january 2013, I travelled with my studio to Israel. This project is a collection of what I experienced on our journey through the country, and the thoughts it evoked. It is also a collection of symbols and metaphors found in the areas we visited.   Tel Aviv is widely known as the “White City”. According to the myth, it rose out of the dunes of sand as a new Hebrew city. However, deeper investigation reveals that a part of the municipality is established on the post-Nakba ruins of the former village Manshiya. This village was almost totally erased, partly for political reasons.   The project is an exploration into the story of erasure, and an attempt to evoke the traces of what once was there.  I have proposed an underground structure hidden in sand. The objective is not to present a final answer, but to contribute to an ongoing discussion of who is the winner or loser in the writing of history, and what role architecture has in this battle.

Yakov Shabtai (1934-1981), escreveu Passado Contínuo A lembrança das coisas, seu primeiro romance, quase trinta anos após a fundação de Israel, que saía de sua terceira guerra em 30 anos de existência. O romance expõe a vida de três homens, suas relações amorosas e familiares, seus projetos e frustrações, relacionando inúmeras outras personagens que afluem e somem ao longo do enredo. Seu cenário e também personagem é Tel Aviv, o qual será analisado sob o viés de Walter Benjamin em suas críticas ao processo de modernização de Paris como capital do século XIX. A hipótese de trabalho é que a mudança no contexto histórico, o póssionismo, entendido como outra elaboração para a história nacional de Israel, exigiu do escritor competente a articulação entre modos de contar mais complexos e questionadores, como uma meta-narrativa a qual influencia a criação de novas técnicas de escrita ficcional para a representação da cidade histórica ficcionalizada. / Yaakov Shabtai (1934-1981), wrote Past Continuous, his first novel, almost thirty years after the foundationof Israel, out of third war in 30 years of its rise. The novel exposes the lives of three men, their relationships and families, their projects and frustrations, showing numerous other characters who flock and disappear over the storyline. His scenario, and also a character, is Tel-Aviv, which will be analyzed under the bias of Walter Benjamin in his criticism on the modernization of Paris as the capital of the nineteenth century. The hypothesis is that the changes in the historical context, post-Zionism, understood as another narrative to the national history of Israel, required the coordination between the competent writer in order to tellmore complex ways and questioning, as a meta-narrative which influences the creation of new techniques of writing so as to represent the city\'s historical into the fictionalized way.
