The project proposes a new model for a school integrated with public uses, located at the heart of the urban fabric and adjacent to Hosmasa Park in Holon. Rather than treating the school as a closed and fenced building, the project seeks to transform it into an active part of the city: an open, flexible, and multi-use space where education, community, creativity, and leisure coexist throughout the day and week. The design proposes an educational and public complex that combines a middle school, community FabLab spaces, creative workshops, shared learning areas, public plazas, and neighborhood community spaces. The building is designed as a system of thresholds, courtyards, active roofs, and internal streets, with an emphasis on an open and public ground floor. These open spaces allow for a gradual transition between the city, the park, and the school- between public and private, formal and informal, between spaces of activity and spaces of passage. Through time-based planning, soft boundaries, and shared public uses, the project proposes a renewed reading of the schoolyard: not as a closed area behind a fence, but as a living urban space of encounter, learning and movement.
