Dizengoff as a mirror for Israel. The Urban Living Room is a project that brings community back to the user. Dizengoff Street is a crowded, busy street that varies its character throughout the day. The area's residents are predominantly young people who live in apartments with roommates. Their time in the neighborhood is a temporary transit station in their lives. As a result, the street has become an extension of their apartments' living rooms. The project enhances the phenomenon of using the street's layout as a public space, which multidimensionally traverses the spectrum between the private and the public. The Coronavirus pandemic increased the understanding of longing for communal spaces, a spontaneous meeting place, the need to coexist in the public space. The project creates a new fabric that integrates the street and the constructed space, transitions into a Dizengoffian tower, functions as a public building, brings spontaneity back to the city, and moves between the private and the public in informal meeting spots.
