Tel Aviv-based Zarhy Architects shared with us their proposal for a New City Hall and Concert Hall in Holon International Competition, for which they received 3rd Prize. More images and architect’s description after the break.
Holon’s Plaza Throughout human history, the “city square” has served a consistent purpose – a political, commercial, and social gathering space. The character of the gathering varies, but not the square; a successful square facilitates a wide range of gatherings. It is a platform for human interaction – charismatic and cozy, but also elegant. A true plaza fulfills many roles at once. Holon’s plaza will be the open-air stage of the city, a manifestation of genuine democratization of the urban sphere. The adjacent streets will converge in it, making it the heart of the city. Numerous activities, public, commercial and private, will take place there side by side, harmoniously.
