At the beginning of the semester, I dealt with the apartment where I live in the student dormitory.
My apartment is the floor’s bomb shelter as well and for this reason it carries with it a slightly different lifestyle than life in a standard apartment. Contrary to the sense of security and tranquility, when the security situation required it or there is a decision of the Home Front Command, my private space becomes public domain. When I researched, I realized that this situation is unique to the life we live in the State of Israel. After the first Gulf War in the early 1990s, a bomb shelter duty was decided on the new apartments. For us, it may already be obvious that there is a one in every home in Israel, but this architectural element is not as common in the rest of the world. Building a bomb shelter is a definite Israeli architecture.
I decided to design a building whose main principle is the security room – a hard core, constructive and social. The safe room will be the foundation of the building, where both social events and public programs will take place.
