Florentine corner of Gotham Street
My final presentation of my 5th semester at school was very intense but very fulfilling. The project is located in south Tel-Aviv at Florentine neighborhood, Yedidya Frenkel street. The main narrative was to take the existing industrial corrosive materiality of the neighborhood and to create a new interpretation to it in a form of a new hybrid building.
I approached the challenge in two different ways:
1. A parametric programming algorithms.
2. Analogy between corrosion effect and the building states.
As to the first approach i took 10 microns pictures of a corrosion in 4 different materials such as : Aluminum, Brass, Titanium and Iron, and created an algorithm that was design to create 3d maps out of the pictures. After i had 4 3d maps the next quest was to convert them into 3d morphology. You can obsorve the final product in the Titanium skin middle building in the pictures.
The second approach was based on the dictionary translation of Corrosion:
“Corrosion is the disintegration of an engineered material into its constituent atoms due to chemical reactions with its
surroundings”
The corrosion perception which i researched this semester is based on the idea that a building ,in their current appearance, will always strive to destruction or depart to it’s smallest particles.
The physical factors for this process are:
1. Gravitation
2. Nature and Climate
3. Humanity
The metaphysical factors are:
1. Abundance
2. irrelevant urbanistic context
All that being said, when we take Time and Interaction as a permanent factors we come to the understanding that there is no eternal beauty, there is no permanent
existence.
The corrosion theory will not fall to nihilism, it understands that we do need to find the best solution for architecture to exist so it will try to take a step back before all become lost and try to capture the moment before the final demolition
and start the architectural creation from that picture frame.
Enjoy my Art, Soul & Mind.
I wish all of you watching this to find peace with you inner voices that sometimes make us all do stupid hurtful things so your deeds will become love and art.
And he who understands must understand.

Inspired by another post here on Tumblr, I decided to look into the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong a bit more, it truly was one of the most amazing and terrifying places on earth. Being slightly smaller than an NFL stadium, the structure was built of 350 smaller interconnected buildings and hosted, at it’s peak, a population density of 5 million people per square mile.
To put those numbers in perspective, this would be like taking the entire population of metro Philadelphia, the 4th largest in the US, and putting it in 1 square mile instead of 1,744.
The area was also largely ungoverned and unregulated. Factories, apartments, schools, temples, churches, shops, cafes, hotels and almost anything else one could imagine were housed within the structure that never had a full blueprint of it done. Buildings were built onto buildings, expanded, rebuilt, and re-purposed as needed without a central authority of any kind.
Within the structure, natural light was almost non-existent, and an unknown number of miles of jury-rigged wires provided electricity to everything. Water constantly dripped down to the lower levels from both rain and leaking pipes, while garbage filled every passage. A constant yellow haze filled the structure and there were never any government safety inspections.
The Kowloon Walled City was demolished in the early 1990s as part of the deal that returned Hong Kong to the Chinese from the British. The entire area is now a park.
I find places like this fascinating, it is just incredible what we, humans, build and live in. This, hive, for lack of a better term, was one of the most interesting structures I’ve yet looked at.
