TRIP FEEDBACK

Maoz Aviv: The neighbourhood is composed of a number of parallel blocks, in the middle of a very green area, which characterizes that part of Tel Aviv. The area works like an urban kibbutz, and comprises a school, an open cinema, a small shopping mall, and a few playgrounds.
At the time of completition, the neighbourhood was standing alone in a rural area, and it was populated by homogenic population. Nowadays it is surrounded by wealthy Telavivian residents, and the population has therefore undergone gentrification. The Va'ad Bayt is very strong, but provides a high maintenance of the public areas.
In the late 60s, 15 years after completition, a tower was added to the complex (in the middle of the public garden) , and most of the existing blocks received the addition of a liftcase and of additional living space.

Hamashtela neighbourhood: This neighbourhood from the early ninetees looks like similar experiences in europe. It wants to create a density and to re-use classic forms like the street, the piazza and so on, but the result looks more like a formal exercize. Pedestrian streets are deserted, as a result of the possibility to access the buildings from underground parking-lots). The area is disconnected to the rest of the city, something that characterizes the general modern cities in Israel. The architectural quality of the building is not strong enough to make this area the fancy neighbourhood it was pretended to be.
