The project explores the relationship between the local and the foreign in architecture, examining the potential of introducing new systems into existing structures. Viewing abandonment and obsolescence as transitional stages rather than the end of a building’s life cycle, it proposes an architectural approach rooted in adaptive reuse and incremental transformation. This strategy is implemented through the conversion of the Grozenberg Parking Garage in Tel Aviv into a cultural hub for artists’ residencies, creative production, and public engagement. Preserving the existing structural framework and transforming its circulation system into public space, the intervention combines selective subtraction with the insertion of a flexible, modular building system. The resulting layered architecture allows new forms of occupation to emerge from the existing structure, extending its lifespan through continuous adaptation and renewal.
