Mound, hearth, enclosure, roof, and column. The way we see it, Gottfried Semper and scholars already figured out what makes honest tectonic form. We're looking for the element that satisfies our primitive urge to value architecture that's good.

tel aviv port
by: mayslits kassif architects
in: Tel Aviv, Israel

This rehab project, on one of Israel’s most gorgeous waterfronts, is a blend of public gathering space and private port development in Tel Aviv.  The slowly rolling decking, designed to represent the mythological dunes the project was built on, seems like it would be an awesome place to ride a bike or skateboard, or go for a stroll.   Definately a nice blend of urbanism and architecture.
