well benito, i think they mean
“jewish museums/ jewish community-centres/ jewish memorials”
its like in the past u.s.a.: rest rooms for white or colored people.
well, if i read “jewish community-centre”, i ask myself: what is the difference betwwen a “jewish community-centre” and a normal one?! and can i go inside? do i need to prove my confession, to pass?
but thats why they’ll call it JCC, its more political correct.

- What you’re asking others to do (social/youth projects) is what a “community center” is. -

i agree with guru and y:
social and youth projects are for people who need “space and social” activities.
all community centres i’ve been (and i’ve been to many countries) are visited by “sofisticated posh” people, talking about “being social to poor people” :(

i’d rather wanna see an empty green space, instead of an hyper-modern empty building, where its only allowed to talk quietly.

MMMMM…….are you really that dumb?, or just plain bigot?, too bad there’s no editing in the posts, your ignorance (along with Y’s reply) is here for everybody to see)

the street life depicted here and which the design professes to improve seems a bit stiff and lifeless to these eyes. Materiality, street furnishings, plantings and passive surveillance could be improved.

Guru and Y: A community centre is not a place of remembrance, such as a museum or memorial. It functions to provide the Jewish community (which is quite sizeable in the area)with places to meet and learn etc. Be clear or at least read the accompanying text before you jump to conclusions.

I love the slightly cartoonish style of the renderings and if this feeling and atmosphere can be recreated in reality the building will be a triumph.

I like the facade pattern of the large structure, and the whole inner street/plaza sound like a good idea, I think it would give it more warmth as the whole design seems a bit off color but people are always what give public spaces their oomph.

i really know why there must be so many “jewish museums/ jewish community-centres/ jewish memorials”.
why not spending money for social/youth projects, instead of placing remembrance-buildings onto any empty space!? im tired of this…
