הסלון העירוני

The areas surrounding Israel Railways stations along the Ayalon corridor are often characterized by a lack of significant urban development and by the absence of an accessible, continuous urban experience. The railway and the Ayalon axis serve as both a physical and perceptual barrier between cities and neighborhoods, creating fractures in the urban fabric and weakening walkability and connectivity to urban services. In the project “The Urban Living Room”, I focus on Savidor Station as a strategic junction between Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan — a transportation hub and the heart of employment, residential, and leisure areas — aiming to transform a closed transportation artery into an open, accessible, and integrated urban realm. Savidor is conceived here as a key axis for creating **east–west continuity**, reinstating the station’s role as an organic component within its surrounding fabric. The project establishes physical and experiential integration between multiple transportation systems — Israel Railways, the Metro, the Light Rail, and soft mobility — through the design of a vibrant, multi-layered public space. The design seeks to generate activity throughout the day and night, fostering a comfortable and equitable urban life — in movement, in pause, and in encounter — thus restoring continuity and connectivity to the urban realm.
