ECOWEEK 2010 in the Middle East: Workshops
Workshop Intro: Registration only
|
ECOWEEK Workshops
are the international annual high-profile architectural event
of Athens that is now also taking place in the Middle East (Israel
and West Bank, Palestine). The ECOWEEK 2010 design workshops
give the opportunity to young professionals and students of
Architecture or other professions, to work side by side with
known or emerging architects, designers, and engineers from
the region, Greece and abroad, and to learn from them the principles
and tools to integrate ecological solutions in Architecture
and design decisions.
The ECOWEEK 2010 Workshops include projects that are real -
to be built - for real clients, focusing on community projects
that can help make a difference in their respective communities.
Workshop groups will be relatively small (15-20 participants)
and will involve preliminary design proposals for the given
assignment.
>> ECOWEEK 2010 Worshops are supported by thematic lectures
and master classes by experts in the 'green' building profession.

ECOWEEK 2010 in the Middle East: Workshops
Workshop Themes: Registration only
|
ECOWEEK 2010
in the Middle East Workshops include actual community projects,
the ECOWEEK workshop participation in the Bat Yam BIENNALE for
Landscape Urbanism, and conceptual projects in Jerusalem. A
more detailed description is included below. During registration
you will be asked to choose which workshop team you would
like to join. Participation in the workshops is very limited
and therefore it is very likely that participation in the highly
demanded groups will close very fast. Register early to secure
your participation in the workshop team of your choice.
The following workshops will take place in ECOWEEK 2010 in the
Middle East. ECOWEEK thanks the workshop leaders for
their invaluble input to teach, train and inspire the younger
generation of professionals who participate in the ECOWEEK 2010
in the Middle East Workshops. |

W4: JERUSALEM Workshop
Without
entering the political questions and complications but trying
to address the question of a divided city as a philosophical
and architectural problem, when attempting to address the division
of Jerusalem and establishing a sustainable division (and
link) between East and West, one has to consider the necessity
of preserving the connectivity between both sides of a city
that has functioned as one entity for many years. The unique
urban character of Jerusalem depends largely on the ability
of movement from one side of the city to the other: workers,
tourists, traders, business people, government officials and
diplomats, will all become dependent upon the facilities linking
East and West and how much they will encourage cooperation,
understanding and normality along a potential border.
The Geneva accords present an initial plan for a major crossing
facility in North Jerusalem. The workshop will be led by SAYA
architects Karen Lee Bar-Sinai and Yehuda Greenfield-Gilat
with Palestinian peers; they will recommend the use of this
location for a major crossing facility, approved by the Geneva
Initiative team, for many reasons: firstly, its location at
the intersection of main Israeli and Palestinian inter-city
roads allows easy access from both sides of the border and both
from within and outside the city. Secondly, the site enables
East-Jerusalem residents' daily commute to work in West Jerusalem.
Thirdly, the proximity of the site to the light rail station
(Israeli side) will link it to local transportation systems
and commuting routes. Lastly, the facility can function not
only as a crossing point, but as a major urban joint connecting
East and West Jerusalem as well.
The workshop will address not only architectural issues, but
will try to understand, analyze and design the factors that
will enhance the civil, transportation, urban and environmental
cooperation between the two parts of the city, and how they
can be implemented into a building or complex of buildings.
Secondly, the building design will follow the principles of
green building addressing energy efficiency, solar and wind
orientation, construction methods and materials, renewable energy
and more. This workshop will develop a project that is "green"
in many layers: from green building design and technology, to
the creation of an urban entity aiming to create the platform
for sustainable social, cultural, financial, environmental development
and solutions in a new context.

W5: NEGEV Urban Workshop
In
cooperation with the Municipality of Beersheva, this
workshop group will deal with the urban study of KK"L
main pedestrian street in the old city of Beersheva, and
how this street can become the first 'green' street in Israel.
This project is an actual project that the City of Beersheva
is working on, and the ideas generated in the worshops may very
well form the basis for the planning strategies for the actual
project.
KK"L street is located in the center of the old city of
Beersheva, containing shops, offices, houses, institutions,
and connecting different historic sites of the old city - including
antiquity, Ottoman times and recent history, joining together
different cultures and languages, including Israeli Jews, Bedouins
and Russians; the street acts as a connector for these different
cultures giving access to the Bedouin market, the city open-air
market, the Muslim cemetery, historic museums, shops, cafes
and more.
The aim of the workshop is to prepare a platform of ideas that
will guide the planning process towards making KK"L street
the first 'green' street in Israel.

>> W8: IPCRI TANTUR Workshop
ECOWEEK
is cooperating in this workshop with the Israel / Palestine
Center for Research and Information (IPCRI).
This workshop will design a mixed use Cultural and Community
Center for Israeli and Palestinian Peace organizations.
The site is located inside the Tantur historic and religious
compound. The site is located opposite Beit Tzafafa in Jerusalem,
very close to the Greek Orthodox monastery of Mar Elias.
The project is an actual project that IPCRI is presently considering,
and includes the rehabilitation of an existing building -
or its demolition, and the construction of additional facilities.
The workshop will provide ideas and a preliminary design approach
for the actual building.
The workshop team will meet with IPCRI representatives at
the site (photo). It is very possible that through collaboration
among ECOWEEK partners for this project, students may have
the opportunity to also participate in the design development
and final design of the building to be constructed.

ECOWEEK
2010: Ecology + Community + Architecture Workshop
The interdisciplinary design workshops of ECOWEEK 2010
was hosted for the first time by architects in their own offices
and by two workshop groups organized by the Greek Ministry of
Environment. The assignment was to design a passive solar
house of zero emissions at three sites: two in the center
of Athens (Thisseio and Keramikos) and one in a seaside location
(Loutsa). More

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
