  • David Azrieli Architecture Student Prize Winners
    Greetings from Danna Azrieli, Chairman — Azrieli Foundation Israel Dear Students, Graduates, Faculty, Architects and Architecture Enthusiasts, The David Azrieli Architecture Student Prize meets Israel’s young architects at an important milestone in their professional lives, when theory and practice converge. The Prize appraises and rewards students for their final project and their dream of making a personal imprint on the public space, the environment, society and public discourse. Over the years, the Prize has become an integral part of architecture education in Israel, with the heads of the five schools of architecture valuing it as a certificate of excellence. The final projects that made the short list are the best among the student works, and embody the extensive knowledge acquired by them during their years of study. As in previous years, this year Azrieli Foundation Canada — Israel presents generous grants to the three finalists — a first prize of 60,000 shekels, a second prize of 25,000 shekels, and a third prize of 10,000 shekels. On behalf of the Foundation, I send my thanks to this year’s panel of judges, headed by the esteemed architect Bracha Chyutin; my sister, Dr. Sharon Azrieli; architect Michael Arad; architect Yoav Meiri; and architect Gil Shenhav. DAVID AZRIELI ARCHITECTURE STUDENT PRIZE I would also like to extend a special thank you to Professor Carmela Jacoby-Volk, who advised us professionally on the competition process. The David Azrieli Prize honors and congratulates not only the winners, but all the students who submitted projects and contended for a place in the competition. I hope that this tradition will continue to inspire architecture students PAGE and the architecture community for many years to come.

    Kristen Gagnon PhD Student, David Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada (Semi)Urbanism: Creating a new housing typology through slippage A Need: (Semi)Urbanism – Slippage and the Hybrid Looking at alternatives to suburban development and traditional stacked-housing, (semi)urbanism – suburban ideals within an urban context – seeks to be the hybrid needed to mediate between the centrally-densified core and the sprawling suburb. A new understanding of residential and community design, (semi)urbanism strives to meet the perceived needs of the suburban homeowner, by transposing the manner in which these needs are currently being met within a suburban condition, into a more sustainable language. This is achieved by pulling from the memory of the suburbs and setting a new residential typology into a more thoughtful, and dense, urban environment. But how do we shift the perception of the suburban homeowner from the familiarity of sprawl to the unfamiliarity of urban density? Slippage, a methodology for the transformation and creation of this liminal space, is the act through which one place becomes another – through the sliding, stacking, layering and superimposing of something onto itself – by allowing memories of an older order to create new, mediating spaces. It is this shifting of perceptions that is significant within a suburban context, as it is one that is often paralyzed in stagnant nostalgia, mundane imagination and repetitive neutrality. Yet, it would be ignorant to ignore 1 suburbia completely, and slippage attempts to allow these specific, meaningful ideals to be the remnants that remain. For while the environmental, socio-economic and architectural concerns of the suburbs have been well documented, it is also evident that many current consumers of sprawl would not be willing, or able, to move into the density of the city without major ‘compromises’ to their current lifestyle or ideals, due to personal finances, marketed nostalgia or perceived suburban amenities.

They achieve this end through the manipulation of urban politics and media. The growth machine theory has also been used to explain urban growth outside the United States. In this study, through the lens of two case studies, Kanyon Ha’Negev and BIG, in Beer Sheva, Israel, an attempt is made to understand growth in Beer Sheva and whether or not the growth machine theory applies to it and helps understand it better.
