Landscape architects: Noa Bar Yosef and Shay Schlesinger Photos: Freddy Kahana, courtesy of Beit HaEmek Archives Cognition of building-value creates the final stage of the gentrification process by re-adjustment of abandoned structures which are designated for new functions, a move whose results evoke some of the kibbutz veterans’ nostalgia for real coop life, which had been expressed by, among others, children's shared sleeping quarters and common shower and steam house which served the common laundry washing machines and the cleaning of pots and pans in the common kitchen. With the shutting down of the overall kibbutz planning divisions in the ‘80’s, kibbutz planning ceased. And with that a question hovers in the background; What and who are the kibbutzim, what are their goals and is there justification for their existence in the present reality, by focusing on adapting their original built organization to suit new social requirements? Architect Freddy Kahana, a member of Kibbutz Beit Ha'emek is one of the senior architects in the kibbutz movement, having designed many of the buildings there, also founding the "Kibbutz Archive, open to the public at Yad Tabenkin, with more than 22,000 items.
