docking dunes




Mayslits Kassif Architects won the open competition for the regeneration of Tel Aviv Port public space. The port management's new vision for the regeneration includes public space renewal and the restoration of the port’s old hangars. The Architects viewed the project as a unique opportunity to construct a public space which challenges the common contrast between private and public development, and suggests a new agenda of hospitality for collective open spaces. The design introduces an extensive undulating, non-hierarchical surface, that acts both as a reflection of the mythological dunes on which the port was built, and as an open invitation to free interpretations and unstructured activities.
