Outdoor spaces have the power to connect a specific place to a larger whole, on both the physical and symbolic levels. In the city of Or Yehuda, development of a new commercial complex extends beyond the project boundaries, taking on additional urban and metropolitan functions. The plan creates a series of linear strips of landscape each with distinct characteristics and functions. The configuration of this design reshapes the main entrance to the city, serves as a “pilot” of a metropolitan open spaces project and creates an aerial view for incoming flights to Ben Gurion Airport.
