Welcome to the City/State blog region.
City/State Unit is an independent research and design unit operating within the Architecture Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
The unit was established with the goal of mobilizing the design community to engage in multidisciplinary research into the unique spatial conditions of Israel and the consequences of global trends on these local conditions.
The unit consists of a core staff of architects and landscape architects who cooperates with professionals from other fields on specific research projects.
City/State Unit is aimed at educating architecture students to excellence in both research and practice; establishing a platform for public debate; and connecting with official planning authorities and private organizations engaged in large scale projects.
