קיבוץ 2050

This project examines the nuanced relationship between the collective and the individual amidst the evolution of the traditional kibbutz into its renewed, modern form. Drawing from my personal background in Kibbutz Gadot, I chose it as a case study to explore how core socio-spatial values can be preserved while adapting to a contemporary lifestyle centered around personal autonomy and the family unit. The design proposal approaches the site holistically from macro to micro—restructuring the master plan toward a polycentric framework, distributing contemporary community hubs, and designing residential units alongside a young adults' neighborhood embedded within the local topography. Ultimately, this scheme yields an organic environment that harmonizes individual privacy and personal freedom with a cohesive communal identity.
