פארק פל"א (פסולת לאנרגיה)

Peleh (-wonder) Park proposes strengthening the connection between the city of Tel Aviv and the currently isolated Ariel Sharon Park by creating a new urban gateway that incorporates an open, landscape-integrated ecological school. The project’s name refers both to the production and conservation of energy, and to the mental energy revitalized by spending time in nature. The park’s boundary transforms into a connecting zone featuring paths for pedestrians and cyclists, public transport infrastructure, a shaded avenue, and a public plaza that lead into the park itself. Within the park lies a school composed of a system of greenhouse-classrooms and outdoor learning spaces designed as "cooling caves"; built from local soil excavated during the construction of the reservoir. The greenhouses are similar in form but differ in the way they respond to environmental conditions, allowing students to directly explore the effects of the surrounding environment on nature. One of them even floats as the reservoir water level rises and returns to the ground as the reservoir dries. The project transforms the park into a space where one not only learns about the environment, but also learn through it and act in partnership with it.
