"As a daughter of immigrants from the former Soviet Union, I explored the issue of Aliyah and integration in Israel. I chose to plan new physical spaces that provide an appropriate solution for inclusion in Israeli society while preserving the personal identity of the original country. The urban market is a vibrant and dense place in which communities come into being. The open layout that mediates between religions, cultures, and urban fabrics is the best facilitator for the absorption process in Israeli society. Currently, the construction fabric in the area of the Ramla Market is fragmented and includes many exits from the market that lead nowhere. The project aims to restore the urban fabric by pulling the routes leading out of the market and expanding its operation sideways while using the historical and cultural layers for planning an environment prepared to absorb new immigrants."
