Identity Spaces, Lod

2013

With Ido Asulin & Daniella Gross

The urban society is different individuals that arrange themselves in different dynamic groups. Each person relates to each group by different parameters: religion, culture, lifestyle, family type etc.

We identified the urban space in Lod as composed of three situations which we named: 'separated', 'common' and 'unidentified'. How do those situations meet in the city and what is their spatial reflection? How can a public space except different individuals and groups.

The old city of Lod and Ramat Eshkol neighborhood are heterogenic neighborhoods that operate as commercial centers that have developed around the city market. The area is abundant with public, educational and religious institutions. Most of those institutions are homogenous, often creating tension between different groups. This human tension often reflects in the surrounding architecture.

The project suggests a spatial action generated by mapping the existing urban fabric according to the different situations we've identified and their spatial reflections.
