The project made under student program for the Former Jewish Ghetto in Shanghai In collaboration with Tongji University, UNESCO chair for modern heritage in Tilanqiao, Shanghai. 

Weaver Wall is a parametric design of a new kind of wall, inspired by traditional silk weaving in China. Its a wall that can change to a variety of weaving forms. to product different states of opening and closing - its uses the techniques of dense and rigid fabric weaving to create separation and produce more private places in the alley. like bedrooms, and uses a different weaving technique to set up more public spaces that serves a large numbers of people and allow the passing of air and light. The new wall created by a three dimensional weaving technique. The wall designed by a computer based parametric systems that also allows storage solutions and ventilation. It is produced mainly by bamboo and wood materials, that available cheap in this regions of China.   

In the crowded alleys of Shanghai neighborhood Tilanqiao Its hard to fined a clear sidewalk due to the high density of the region that is suffering from poverty and neglect. residents take every piece of space they find: electricity poles are used for hanging laundry, dining tables are blocking the narrow passages between the entrances of the building, the cooking is done mostly outdoors- open for all to see. even the toilet are open to the bare sky. For that situation the project Weaver Wall was created. The project tries to deal with one of the neighborhood alleys most important  questions: How can we enable semi- public functions like cooking and eating regulated and cozy places without having to steal all public area from alley. The project seeks to blur the dichotomous separation that takes place today in the alley between the same functions by the wall that separates them an outcome of the dense design. In the past houses in the neighborhood were built as a British middle class housing who served one family. Today this space is shared by dozens of people who find creative solutions to overcome congestion.

An advanced parametric smart facade, that filters light into the main hall of the Azrieli Architecture school in Tel Aviv.

Inspired by natural phenomenon and analogical ray light control, the Shutter wall was made using Grasshopper 3D and a Laser cutting machine, using real field data to control the final shape and sizes.

Grasshopper is a visual programming language. Grasshopper runs within the Rhinoceros 3D CAD application. Programs are created by dragging components onto a canvas. The outputs of these components are then connected to the inputs of subsequent components.

The wall made by two grids combined together-
one is constant and the other is changing. Each unit has a different vertex creating more open or close spaces. Each unit can fold easily. The connectors between the units are identical and create a new grid.

Housing is one of the major topics in Architecture and represents a significant portion of the professional activity and construction in the country and around the world. The Studio will deal with these issues, studying, considering and comprehending the Housing issue in both Israeli and World architecture history. The Studio will work on the documentation, study and analysis of both national and international examples throughout the years by examination of professional literature and study tours to existing sites.

According to the insights garnered from these materials, the students will develop an individual and personal position paper on the Housing issue and will design an architectonic proposal for a housing complex in an urban tissue, including contemporary, future and timeless topics such as physical needs, social and cultural needs, density, ecology, economy, etc’.

The Studio will deal with the design of a housing complex of 125 units, developing it through three different scales: the single unit, the complex and the urban tissue.‭.‬

The project took part in the program "Re-Form Milan- New Urban Landscape at Urban Center" ,  and exposed in "Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II" in Milan. 

"Re-form Milan" is an educational initiative and research promoted by the School of Architecture at the "Politecnico di Milano" in collaboration with the Department of Urban Planning, Private Building, Agriculture of the Municipality of Milan. Laboratories and design courses have worked to explore the opportunity to recirculate areas and buildings in a state of decay and neglect, public and private property.

"RETRO-BOTTEGA" in Italian mean-  the back of the store. The project is located in the suburb of Milan. As part of the first impression and also by the analysis we recognized the site as a place without identity. The area is defined by mix function and a certain lack of design. 

The concept of the project came out from interviews done with the people that are living there. The need of those population are mixed with the character of the place, that is mainly factors and storage area, what made our concept a new district for product design, related to all other services for people living there and also a cultural area that will be the main attraction for the citizens of Milan.

Work, Culture, Leisure and green placed - The recipe for a new RETRO-BOTTEGA.

In today world, architecture is seeking for a concrete response to the recent needs, result of the rise of mobility and worldwide travels. The proposal of new modular structures for the hospitality market defines the tendency to think movable, modular, flexible.

The projects propose modular apartments with the main feature for the house owner to be able to expand, subtract or substitute his living space.

To ensure that we designed a rail system that enables prefabricated modules to slide on wheels along it. The facade of the unit could be designed by the owner himself by choosing the facade panels and their position. the units divided to two option- 1 story or 2 story.

the variety of option creates a new sight in the urban environment.

“Shenkar - Engineering. Design. Art” has established itself as one of the leading colleges in Israel. Every year, Shenkar's graduates find themselves in the forefront of research and the industry, exhibit their works, participate in competitions and win prestigious awards.

Combining faculties of engineering, design and art is the basis of this institution’s unique multidisciplinary academics, allowing students and professors to combine cutting-edge technologies with contemporary design and artistic concepts. Each faculty has its own character, yet maintains fruitful collaborations with the other faculties, exposing students to a variety of disciplines and different fields of knowledge.

The challenge of this project was to create a new design while maintaining the old structure. 
The main idea of the project was to create a new multi-use campus that would be open to the surrounding residential neighborhood.
