open space?

the upcoming view from netanya. good? bad? irrelevant... cause here it comes. so what will be the dialogue between the ever growing city and the now "protected" open spaces?

say yes...

is there room for added value thinking at the national scale of planning? when the gap between a concrete floor detail and reality is about 5cm, can meaningful value be rendered in the distance between the textures on a NOP and the reality 20 years down the line? can you say ¥€$?

about deadlines @ the lab

they fly by."
