In the 21st century, most metropolitan areas are characterized by dense construction. Considering both the forecasts of population growth and the limited land reserves, future urban renewal projects will inevitably involve new building additions above existing structures, creating a new urban layer. Tel Aviv-Jaffa is inadvertently becoming a living lab, where new construction integrates with the conservation of the UNESCO listed heritage zone, located in the heart of the city.

“… because collage is a method deriving its virtue from its irony, because it
seems to be a technique using things and simultaneously disbelieving in them,
it is also a strategy which can allow utopia to be dealt as image, to be dealt in
with fragments without having to accept it in toto, which is further to suggest
that collage could even be a strategy which, by supporting the utopian illusion
of changelessness and finality, might even fuel a reality of change, motion,
action and history.” ROWE, Colin, KOETTER, Fred, “Collage City”, p.149, the MIT
press, 1983.
According to Schwarzer: “Today’s cities no longer make sense. Maybe they
should not make sense. Like post-modern society at large, cities are paradoxical
and ambiguous, constantly mutating under the impact of new life-styles,
fashions, technologies and view- points. They are the site of highly diverse
interactions, rapid ¯ fluctuations of capital, hazy physical boundaries and
seemingly irreconcilable architectural and urban movements.” SCHWARZER,
Mitchell, “The Contemporary City in Four Movements”, p.127, California College
of Arts and Crafts, 2010
We challenge you to creatively debate the city using the collage technique,
exposing a criticism/satire of the existing reality and/or an alternative proposal
to that reality.
This should go along with a short description of your proposal, no more than 150
words.

Hello,

Buildings account for 40 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. From houses and hospitals to schools and offices, buildings in the United States use about 40 percent of the country's energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and other operations. It is estimated that the manufacture, transport, and assembly of building materials such as wood, concrete, and steel account for another eight percent of energy use. About 30 percent of the electricity buildings use is generated from coal-burning power plants, which release greenhouse gases, causing climate change.
