At the exhibition, Polish architect Agata Woźniczkapresents a sculptural installation that explores Sir Patrick Geddes's vision encountering Tel Aviv's most typical developments – a high riser. Woznizka envisions a bold possibility for urban conservation and development – a hyperscraper soaring 12,000 floors that pools all the White City's air rights.
The Appendix: The Geddessian Hyperscraper is an architectural speculation on how to preserve the White City with all its unique spatial characteristics, urban scale and vibrant local biotope. Through this imagined hyperscraper Woźniczkasuggests preserving the entirety of the city's historic layer: the buildings and the things between them: trees, human interactions, and in parallel add a new layer that completes and perpetuates an urban planning heritage facing the future.
The proposal is illustrated with standard architectural apparatus, including drawings, collages and physical models, making it tempting yet not entirely feasible.
*The Project Room is the open end of the center’s permanent exhibition that tells the story of the White City as the point of departure for a story in the making.
