绿意盎然的语言之家·以色列里雄莱锡安“希伯来之家”

Bait LaIvritLocation: Rishon LeZion, IsraelClient: Municipality of Rishon LeZionCollaborators: Efrat-Kowalsky, Tel AvivLocal partners: Moria Sekely Landscape architects, Tel AvivScope of work: Connective landscape for the International Center for the Hebrew Language, Haviv elementary School, Museum of Hebrew and Medalya Coffee House; a continuous greened pergola as security fence and inhabitable shaded space.Date: 2015 - ongoingSize: 1.3 haThe campus of the Bait LaIvrit (House of Hebrew) is surrounded by a fence that could not be avoided because of safety issues. The design proposal combines a green pergola with this fence and alters its presence from something necessary into something pleasant and attractive. This Green Frame unifies the campus with its surroundings and at the same time creates an abundance of cool, sheltered outdoor places that can be used by the school, the Hebrew House and the Museum visitors. It provides space for play, outdoor classes, gatherings, private reading, walking and plenty of events related to the Hebrew language, such as public lectures, concerts, markets and the annual Hebrew Festival.The Green Frame consists of different types of pergola’s, from ones that offer closed shelter and create a sense of privacy, to open pergola’s that offer shade to waiting parents and neighbors, to ones that function as a spacious, green ‘tunnel’ or a perfectly cool outdoor room. It provides different conditions for the use but also for the type of planting; Several different species of climbing plants and clipped trees are planted to create a continuous yet varied vertical garden.The horizontal plane of the garden continuously slopes down towards the east and is covered with a colorful patchwork of different fields of brick pavement with different patterns and small gardens planted with scented, ornamental and edible plants in different heights. The pattern is inspired by the fields and gardens that covered this site at the beginning of Rishon’s history.The garden connects fluidly into the open interiors of the school and the Hebrew House creating a spacious room for the larger gatherings of both institutions.Team Inside Outside: Petra Blaisse with Jana Crepon, Elisa Boscarato, Agnieszka Zborowska, Mikel Orbegozo, Sara Dughetti, Nika Jazaei, Nafsika Efklidou,Tomomi Yamahara, Chiara Maffezzoni, Federica Zatta, Vincent LulzacImages: © Inside Outside, © Efrat-Kowalsky Architects.
