Architect Tal Senior’s entry took first place in a competition for a memorial monument for the 1,500,000 children murdered in the Holocaust. Designed as a labyrinth to create a sense of loss, the monument in Holon will include 1,500,000 marbles collected by the children of the city.
Awfully
The silhouette of architect Reuven Cohen Aloro climbing up a scaffold, on the cover of AI 78, was more than symbolic. Half of his life he spent at the bottom of diggings or at the top of a ladder, forever intent on benefiting the earth or beautifying the sky. On Saturday November 14th he climbed his ladder for the last time, falling to a stone welling he had built in his new home at Kibbutz Harduf. Reuven was on of the founders of the Tav group in 1987, which became a joint design community in the yard of his round house he built in Haifa. In 2000 he moved to Kibbutz Harduf, where later met Hila, with whom he built their new home. Reuven was 55 when he passed away. (See article in AI 78).
Exhibitions
Works submitted to the competition for the transportation control center of the Tel Aviv metropolis are being shown at the Architect House in Jaffa. Closing at the end of February, the exhibition includes proposals of the winning office Nir-Kutz Architects, as well as Faitelson, Shilo Jacobson; Moshe Vered; Dagan Mochly; and Arie Shilo. 15 Hamigdalor St., 2nd floor, Jaffa.
“HomelessHome” - Exhibition shown at the Museum on the Seam for socio-political contemporary art, Jerusalem, defines and rebuttals the elements distinguishing private space from public one, personal and political, protected and open, known and threatening.
“Dreary Structures, Dreamy Structures” is currently showing at the Ashdod Museum of Art, with various forms of representation expressing buildings and places - specific, anonymous, real, fictional, or conceptual. 08-8545180.
Curators: Yona Fischer and Yuval Beaton.
Light & Building - The leading exhibition of architecture and technology - will take place in Frankfurt, April 11-16. www.Light-Building.com
Events
The Holon Museum of Design will open in March. Decorated with strips of rusted steel, the museum planned by Ron Arad contains two galleries and several exhibiting spaces. Its proximity to the Holon Mediatheque will strengthen the culture domain, while contributing to the dialogue between designers and public. Costing $17,000,000, the construction is part of the town’s effort to become a metropolitan culture center.
1,000,000 IS were invested in the renovation and extention of the Avni Institute for Art near Jaffa. Designed in the romantic style of the 120 year-old building earmarked for preservation, the library includes colorful stained glass, granting it a special atmosphere. Avni Institute is Tel Aviv’s oldest and largest venue for studying art and design.
Karlibach and Hahashmona’im Streets in Tel Aviv are about to become one-track boulevards as part of the plan to develop the wholesale market domain. According to the plan, 2/3 of the boulevard will be green - the rest a sidewalk adjacent to commercial arcades. The 55-dunam domain will include 1,800 residential units, a trade and employment center, a school, kindergarten, museum, and open park. As part of the enterprise, the commercial activity in the area will increase, and adjacent buildings will be allowed to add floors.
Projects
The Brooks brand shop in Ramat Hahayal is the first project by ArchiDesign - a new studio of architects Shira Pinkas and Limor Harel Maroz - both recently working at Studio Gad. Minimalist design with interesting use of inexpensive materials puts the function forward as a main design factor.
Students
Wizo Haifa School of Design is launching a workshop to give candidates a “taste” of its various departments before applying.
