גבולות שזורים - גישור בין המסורת הבדואית להתחדשות העירונית ברמיה

The project explores the planning of residential and public spaces in Ramya, an unrecognized Bedouin village in the Galilee, situated within the evolving urban context of Karmiel. The design emerges from the complex tension between accelerated urbanization, urban renewal, densification, and pressures of displacement, and the need to preserve the traditional, social, and cultural values that characterize the Bedouin community in the Galilee. This community is defined by a deep connection to the land, a strong social and communal structure, and a way of life in which physical, public, and family spaces are closely intertwined. This creates a challenge that requires a sensitive planning approach that goes beyond conventional housing solutions. The project proposes a flexible planning model based on typologies that can adapt to future growth, efficient use of land, and phased development. Its aim is to enable integration into the urban fabric without losing identity, community ties, or the connection to the land. The proposed approach demonstrates how architecture can bridge the preservation of local identity with densification and contemporary development, while serving as a platform for inclusive, connective, and sustainable planning.
