The project redefines the industrial zone of Shlomi as a new urban core, rooted in the remains of the village of El-Bassa and connecting the site’s layered histories and identities. By introducing a mix of uses and a critical mass of housing, commerce and employment, it transforms a peripheral area into an active urban hub and proposes a process of both urban and social healing. In doing so, the project seeks to rewrite the equation of the periphery: no longer a town dependent on larger cities in order to sustain itself, but a place capable of generating its own reasons to stay, work and live.
