Structure around Olive Tree

in Architecture school, 1995 [tutors: arch. Y. Klein, A. Sivan]

Only an introductory exercise to the semester, this work dealing with architectural identity holds a special role in my oeuvre nevertheless, prefiguring my future interest in the relation between ground and building, later to become the underlying subject of my Master's thesis. Aimed to be built around a particular olive tree in the Valley of the Cross, the structure touches the ground in two points only, cantilevered over the mild slope, towards the view.
