After the removal of the "dead" areas of the complex and leaving the exposed concrete columns and beams - it is time to imagine what content it is possible to cast into it, and explore the design possibilities at hand.

CONCEPT

DESIGN

A new trade & market center in southern Tel Aviv.

With the buses away and a new facade reachable from all directions, this complex keeps the old trade businesses and make many new ones.  A walk through open market connect the two far ends of the complex all covered with a new modern facade design connected to the traditional construction principals of the original building.
