Jerusalem- Architecture of Reconciliation

Abstract

The thesis is an in-depth study of the Green Line that divided Jerusalem physically between 1948 to 1967. This research is focusing on the architectural intervention of reconciliation and urban fusion in the city, taking the invisible, yet visible, borderline as the area of study and investigation, trying to build bridges between communities in the most challenging areas of the city. The thesis proposes satellites of urban spaces on/near the Green Line, trying to fusion divided Communities. Three sites were picked, and the thesis suggests a schematic design for one main site, and analysis and theoretical design intervention for the other two sites.
