The double helix bridge
The Beer Sheva Bridge won a design competition in the over 75 meter category. The beautiful steel bridge connects Ben Gurion University and the northern train station in Be'er Sheva and the nearby technology park. Its length is 180 m and it is intended for the passage of pedestrians and cyclists. The structure is based on four twisting steel arches that create a spiral-twisted appearance, which protects pedestrian traffic but allows a surprising view of the exterior, the railroad and the Be'er Sheva monument. The entire length of the bridge is paved with x-treme bamboo planks from Moso - Kana'kash, and it is even covered in a ceiling made of bamboo planks in the same way, as a kind of reflection. Between the curving arches is a steel mesh roof. planning Bar Orian, photography lior teitler
TLV [lahat] Promenade
The goal was to create a new and unique public space that connects the urban street and the sandy beach, and offers conditions for the development and flourishing of beach culture in Tel Aviv. Instead of the wall that cut between the traffic axis and the beach, creating a situation where the eastern side of the beach was almost unused, the architects aimed to create a situation where the city "spills" into the sea - through the construction of thin tribunes planning: Mayslits Kassif Roytman Architects Photography: Elad gonen
