Nowadays, when architecture has difficulty connecting to its past and seeing architectural acts as some sort of indicator for contemporary interpretation, it seems ephemeral and detached from the ethical principles of architecture, an architecture that leaves room for recollection and historical reflection as integral parts in building designing the future. Architectural activity derives from a sense of responsibility towards tradition, but also towards innovation; between remembering things that are part of our legacy, and something new that already incorporates the nucleus of what is still to come. This is not a simple act of remembering; it is a process of interpreting the memory. Any future in architecture has a connection to the past. But the past does not cast its shadow on the creator's imagination. Hence, these memories do not shut out the future, they bring about changes, revolutions and variations that win our hearts, and when we give them a new meaning, we discover the possibilities of our own existence. The paper will research the projects designed at the offices of Dov and Ram Carmi and Zvi Melzer in the mid-1950s in Israel. These projects contain the laying down of the first architectural indicator for the future city of Beer Sheva. They offer a new response to the question: What is the nature of urbanity?. The paper will question what is the array of architectural clues that we should feed into the environment through our architectural work that determines our future? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
