Far from the architectural practice, from the will to become an architect-planner-builder,
I seek the clinical-critical point of view on the urban anatomy of the metropolis
in Israel and abroad.
I still fantasize about utopian space and regard the existing space as something which
should be treated with extra care, on order to guard and protect it, for fear it too might be
swallowed-up by the trauma and paranoia into the architectural battlefield.
From my point of view, we are witnessing destruction, be it visible or hidden.
The apocalypse is already here, occurring all around us, and all that is left for us is to clear
our vision and see that which is hidden behind ideals of political brutality, a heap of built utopias,
and the vitality of abundance that bites into our moral perception.
The experience I try to convey is of the esthetics of destruction, and my work often deals with ruins,
which calls to mind natural disasters or man made wreckage.
At the same time, my perspective is optimistic, as my attitude o the same apocalyptic post-traumatic
landscape is one which offers a rehabilitation master-plan.
We are in the age of healing.
The transformation of ideas to the media I use (sketch, draft, collage, relief, model, painting and
mixed media) offers a symbolic and instant comparison between the process of building and
destruction, between mechanisms of accumulation and annihilation. The transformation into these
media creates a perception of architecture in which structures are created and destroyed by
thought, an allegory to Late Modernism.
