Moshe,
In the mapping there are several key issues:
1. The open spaces and the edges as you draw them, do not corresspond to whats there, the edges and open spaces are soft, not at all hard.
2. I would hardly call the spaces in Sahnin urban, there is a big difference between the open spaces here, the majority or which are private, and they are organized in a loose manner,and aformal manner, and they are less uban voids than provate voids
3. the idea of local catalysts as an operation is a starting point, but right now they do not “sit” organically on the site and their logic is not therefore clear, in terms of program, there needs to be thinking of new programs, and similarly, whay is an ecological vestibule needed here at all?
4. When looking at the ordering of Sachnin, the least convincing is these horizontal orientations. They are fored on the landscape and do not emerge from current development. I think rather than trying to orient as strongly as you are there needs to be a more subtle bottom up “reorientation” not based on a top down planning line imposed on the site. , ie try ad take your two key ideas of localized catalyzers, first figure out what they are identify them and their method f transforming the surrounding and then, a system by which they reorient the spaces now seen as private to public or somewhere in between private and public, but without use of this top down mechanism that does not seem to have anything to do with the current metabolism of Sachnin.
What does the fish-bone orientation really offer here?
