Art of Individuals with Hearing Impairments

6. Studio Subject: Intervention of an Existing Building-nd Semester2nd Year.2
The project is a post office branch open 24 hours a day, and its purpose is to serve
the many foreign workers that live in the area, where most of them are not
available during the regular operating hours of post office branches, and where
they are in need of postal services in order for them to communicate with their
family members living in different countries.

16. Adult Contest-Studio Subject: Commerce-st Semester1rd Year.3
I chose to focus the work on two groups: deaf people and people that hear, and to design them a
space suitable for both, a boxing ring. A space suited to the different attributes of both groups.
The different attributes expressed as such that the deaf people require eye contact in the
environment, compared with people of hearing making contact in the environment through the
channels of sound and vision with the emphasis on sound. In addition, the visual channel with the
deaf, is manifested in a dominant way such that through feel, there are some vibrations,
something that the hearing pay less attention to.
The aim of the project is to create a joint space for the deaf and the hearing in a quiet-noise
dynamic. That is, part of the structure is transparent to passers by from the outside, allowing
them to take an interest.
The passers by, from their point of view, are unable to distinguish which type of boxers are the
subject of discussion (the deaf or the hearing). In the actual building itself there will be two
divisions, sound and visual. The integration between the two divisions will be realized by the
different "noises": sharp noise by way of "vocal-sound', and on the other hand by feeling, in the
way the deaf experience it (vibrations) and visual noise.
One of the ways to prove the existence of feeling noise is through the floor, when parts of it will
be from wood able to carry vibrations of that vocal noise,allowing them to feel the vocal noise
there in the same place. When a deaf boxer and a hearing boxer hear clash in a space, in the ring,
the fight creates a common language over a sign or spoken tongue.
The ring is very isolated (a number of glass walls surround it) and as such, this space also marks
isolation from both worlds that both groups are accustomed to.
The audience, present at the time of the fight can watch, but cannot influence the fight through
the aspect of feel and sound noise in light of the glass walls surrounding the ring.

22. Studio Subject: Commerce-nd Semester2rd Year.3
The project is a photographic studio that will serve the inhabitants of Holon
(Weizman Square, Holon). In the first stage, I researched through texture. I
created some different new textures that brought with them dramatic
visualization, with which I combined into the area of the photographic
studio. The studio has 3 main spaces, the first - a gallery, that can be seen
from the outside by aid of the texture that I designed, I created part of the
space with sealed layers and part with exposed.
The second space - small and enclosed, that I call "The Fantasy". Any person,
couple or child that enters the the room are subjected to lighting and
colored effects on the walls, according to the atmosphere, and the mood of
the people that went in to it.
The third space - A Gift Room in which are also received pictures from the
"Fantasy Room". For the all inclusive space, I focus on the interaction
between texture and inside-outside look.

27. The project is based on the curing process. The source of inspiration comes from
Japan, and in the main from the fashion designing of Issey Miaki. I drew from him
the inspiration to use layering.
I connected the mythology of layering, with a personal story.
I experienced a bad traffic accident 13 years ago and I carry body scars since it
happened. For me, these scars are an inseparable part of my body, and I see them
as a kind of layering.
The commercial area (Hanger 4, Yaffo Port) was the location I chose to design a
wine store, because drinking wine passes through the body by way of a release
process, which I see as an analogous process of healing of the accident wounds.
The specific location in the Hanger is the south-west module. The western side is
adjacent to the sea and the south side is next to the car park. The site has three
floors in total even though one of these is a basement floor with a huge window
looking out to the sea. Also the sea is visible from the ground floor. I chose the
entrance to the building from the south, through the car park, since in an area like
this there is disorder that dictates with the wall design of the site that also reflects a
language of order and disorder.
This language was chosen in order to show routine life in an organized and
schematic way, as opposed to there being organized parts that are breaching,
something that symbolizes the wounds and scars from the accident that violated
the routine which prevailed in my life.
