תחנת פנאי

Recreation and leisure spaces around a city enable people to take a break from every day routine, thus contribute to their quality of life. However, those spaces are sometimes not at the center of planning attention. This project deals with an old power station complex in Tel Aviv which is located near residential and employment centers, main traffic routes and train stations. Despite its strategic location, the site in its current state creates an urban void and separates the surrounding neighborhoods. The project proposes to create a connection between the neighborhoods and adapt itself to the diverse and changing needs of its visitors. Its spaces are designed so that they can expand, open and adapt dynamically. The project will offer residents an "escape" from the outside world – one that takes place in a defined space – and is an important component of city life.
