Department, HIT, Israel
THEME: A &
B
Daniel Pearl
with co-founding partner Mark Poddubiuk started L'OEUF (l'Office
de l'Eclectisme Urbain et Fonctionnel) in 1992, where he concentrates
his work on sustainable architecture, urban housing, residential
and commercial renovation as well as in research, critic and
theory. For over 18 years L'OEUF developed its reputation particularly
in sustainable and environmental architecture. Daniel’s expertise
is known for the architectural quality of their projects, their
technical and professional skills as well as their active involvement
in the academic, professional and community context. This expertise
is always founded on a search for balance between the appropriate
technique, the economic feasibility, the architectural expression
et environmental impact of the project. L'OEUF members, as architects,
support the fact that they are stewards of a built environment
that is dignified, human, pleasant, functional, sustainable
and sensitive to the environment. http://www.loeuf.com
Suzanne has a law degree as well as a MBA and has been involved
in real estate development in Montreal for more than 22 years.
She is Vice President, Real Estate Development & Legal Affairs
of Groupe Pacific, a private developer. Since February 2007
she has been working on the masterplan of a sustainable mixed
use community that aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the
entire community to that of one planet (www.petite-riviere.com),
in collaboration with the One Planet Community Program and BioRegional.
She has been active in social housing, industrial and commercial
projects in the city of Montreal as both Legal counsel and executive
director of Montreal's development authority. She was involved
in all aspects of major redevelopment projects in the city in
the IT sector. Her responsibilities, as Director and team leader,
also included the historical borough of Old Montreal and coordination
of all activities taking place within its limits while promoting
Old Montreal as a place to live, work and play. She is an accredited

Lecturer and Head of Interior Design Department at the Design
Faculty HIT - Israel. She received her B. Design from Bezalel
Academy and M. Arch from Rice University, Houston USA. Braha
has professional and academic experience in total architectural

in a wide range of scales. Major interest in contextual design
related to social and cultural aspects.
Eitan Bartal was born in Tel Aviv where he lives and works today.
He graduated from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.
Bartal is an artist and a designer who defines himself as a
"Visual Rhetorician". He currently works as a senior lecturer
and faculty member of Holon Academic Institute of Technology
(HIT), and from 2005-2008 he served as Head of Communications
Department. Bartal's working themes are characterized by their
power to confirm his own identity in terms of cultural consciousness
- ethnic, national and ecological (Hebrew, Jewish, Israeli,
Western, Urban, etc.) with the synthetic myths and truths of
contemporary Western culture that are expressed superficially
within in the mass media. His personal discovery of how mass
consciousness is formed and use of principles of visual rhetoric
led him to act as a Trojan horse in the system: experiencing,
investigating and studying the nature of commercial activity
in the professional arena, and then acting upon it.
Worskhop brief: Jessie
Cohen Neighborhood, Holon, THEME: A & B
The
workshop will focus on Jessie Cohen neighborhood in Holon, a
low-income neighborhood in the city where 'green' design solutions
will be developed and proposed to the city on a variety of aspects,
including (affordable) housing, community, public domain (open
spaces), employment, entrepreneurship and education. This
is a project that has attracted a lot of attention, and is likely
to interest the City of Holon to develop further.
The workshop will be hosted at HIT in Holon. |

brief: The
site of the workshop is the San Martin neighborhood in Katamonim
neighborhood of Jerusalem. Katamonim neighborhood was built
in the 50s' as public housing for new immigrants arriving to
Israel after the Second World War and the establishment of the
State of Israel. The 9 different parts of the neighborhood differ
in urban planning, architectural design, density and the closeness
to the city center. St. Martin or Katamon 8-9 are the most dens
areas of the neighborhood and the least connected parts of the
neighborhood to the city center . These qualities also made
Katamonim 8-9 the most poor parts of the neighborhood and the
least taken care of in terms of planning. The worskhop will
include social aspects, environmental issues, sustainable transportation
and traffic, urban open spaces, and more. A more detailed brief
will be posted shortly. The workshop will be hosted at Bezalel

ECOWEEK Workshops are the international
annual high-profile architectural event organized by ECOWEEK,
labeled by its participants as 'one of the best programs for
young professionals in Europe.' The ECOWEEK 'green' design
workshops give the opportunity to young professionals and
graduate students of Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape
Architecture, Design and Engineering, but also of other professions,
to work side by side with established, known or emerging architects,
designers, landscape archiects and engineers from around the
world, and to learn together the principles of 'green' Architecture
and sustainable design.
ECOWEEK 2012 is a great opportunity for young professionals
to learn about 'green' buildings, to hear and meet the best
architects in the field, to learn from the best engineers
and experts in the field, to train and gain experience in
how to think, plan and design 'green' and affordable.
The ECOWEEK 2012 workshops will take place in Bezalel,
HIT, and College of Management, in cooperation
with the municipalities of Jerusalem, Holon and Rishon. There
willl also be projects in the Jordan Valley, Moshav
Zur Moshe, Azaryia (Bethany) in cooperation
with Shorouq Palestinian Women Society, and Tiberias
in cooperation with the Scottish Church.
The ECOWEEK 2012 projects involve urban planning, new
buildings, landscape design, interior design,
and industrial design. The workshop leaders are coming
from Israel, Jordan, US, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Italy,
and Greece. Don't miss it!

ECOWEEK
2009: Ecology + Leadership + Architecture Workshop
The interdisciplinary design workshops of ECOWEEK 2009
dealt with the site of the former international airport of Athens
in Hellenikon. The groups did not attempt to repeat the international
competition on the site; neither give tips to improve the official
plans for the site; neither attempted to impose architectural
symbols and schemes from abroad. The workshops rather attempted
to re-approach this important site for Athens and the residents
of the Metropolitan city, based on ecology, locality, community
and sustainability. More
