As human beings, we exist in different type of spaces throughout our lives. The developmental stages of childhood and adolescence comprise a crucial role in shaping individuals, allowing them to become independent, social, creative and imaginative pieces of society and bounding them to certain spaces, primarily educational institutions. It is essential to understand the tight correlation between architecture and education. The proper design of learning spaces can allow children and young adults to express themselves in many ways as well as motivate certain positive behaviors. Schools are often isolated from the urban landscape, surrounded by barriers, resulting in the disruption of the urban fabric. With the development of new holistic educational paradigms, there is a growing need to reassess educational building design principles and develop a design language that facilitates organic integration with the urban community, enriching the educational experience and allowing connections. The selected site for this project is the "Beit Hadar" parking lot, located along the historical axis of "Ha'Rakevet" Street. This urban junction comprises diverse neighborhoods in Tel Aviv, and is currently characterized by parking facilities and industrial zones. The project proposes the development of an intergenerational educational axis that incorporates community and cultural buildings, aiming to realize the mutual benefits that can arise from the design of the complex in this area. Believing in education as the most powerful connector, this intervention will create an environment that will reconnect people with their surroundings, providing a safe space, and contributing to their educational and personal growth, while also healing and strengthening a fragmented part of the urban fabric.
