This proposal by Technion University students is devised as a reaction to plans for the area approved by the Tel Aviv city hall. Briefly, several compact fabric blocks are to be demolished in order to build towers of housing units which, besides having no relationship with the area around them, will generate a large quantity of free space with uncertain use. One of these blocks is the one occupied by the 1939 Ha’aliya market, where the authors propose to maintain the existing building and its commercial use, to which a wide programme of services is added. Over it, a new volume of housing units, overlooking patios and connected by public passageways, houses the residential programme.
