Revive
Making boundaries and layers come alive as urban spaces. Connecting city, nature, and people in a new urban vision
Studio Topic | Urban Planning
Location | Tel aviv, Israel
Academic Year | Fifth Year , Final project
Between Tel Aviv and Holon lies a stretch of land considered marginally undeveloped, fragmented, and overlooked. Despite its central location and rich history, the area remains disconnected from the urban fabric. Yet its size, location, and complex composition offer a rare opportunity to reconnect neighborhoods, historic institutions, and emerging parks, while rethinking the encounter between nature and city.
My project proposes a new model of urbanity, where the city grows with the landscape and ground-level spaces are treated as meaningful urban elements.
Ultimately, the project serves as a local case study and a platform for broader metropolitan thinking, connecting space, belonging, and action, offering principles that can guide similar interventions across the region.

The Ground Floor as an Urban Interface
Design Principles
The ground floor plan reveals a new way of thinking about the urban surface.
Rather than treating the ground as a closed footprint, the design reimagines it as a permeable and connected layer.
By leaving parts of the ground unbuilt, the project preserves an open public realm, allowing the landscape to flow freely between architecture and the city.
Neighbohood Perspective
A Continuous Open Space for Interaction
Ground Floor
The diagram illustrates a ground floor that is not defined as a closed boundary around the building, but as a dynamic urban space
Square Perspective
The City as a Continuous Landscape
Park Entrances
The diagram illustrates a space where the park doesn’t stop at the entrance of the buildings, but gently weaves into them, creating a continuous spatial flow.

In an area left to waste lies an urban heart in need of revivel that can bridge nature and community .
The decision to “open the ground” is not only a planning choice but a conceptual one.
Here, the park is not merely an added green space, but a primary axis of urban life.
The transition between neighborhood and park unfolds not only physically, but also perceptually.
The project’s guiding question is not “what to build,” but “how to build differently".
