Station 5
Icon
"...The icon is an expression of the tree shipping its fruits
to the different directions, as a symbol of industrial enterprise branches. It
demonstrates the economic foundation, growth and development of the town in
recent years."(A press release describing the city symbol design,
1960's)
Lacking any natural icons and environmental references, absorbed
the young community its highest building to act as the main element in their
official symbol, while decorating it with the 1960's town products ? orange
trees and industrial works. Today, the fields of oranges became a prosperous
real estate sources, and the industrial era was substitute for a clean semiconductor
parks. Those concrete sentries, who were a source of pride shrouded with
technological symbolism, left neglected on top of the town hills, hardly
justifying their existence by water supplying to their built environment.
Yet it seems that the symbolic choices of the logo designer ,
passes the test of time; though the
city grown and expanded, the old water tower is still among the highest and
most prominent among this city buildings.
Square
A new plan now being promoted for the City Hall square,
will move the municipality functions to
a new location, while causing additional depreciation to the importance of that
triangle of public buildings ? the old city hall, the first and central
synagogue and the water tower. As a programmatic alternative, the old City Hall
building will be offered as the city history museum.
Seven
stations
Within the urban and the local scale, Station 5
project proposes a rethinking to the fading essentially of the water facilities
serving the city.In the urban scale, the project seeks to spread
the city history museum program across seven municipal water facilities - some currently
abandoned and others were replaced by modern systems. Every station will store different
layer of the city story and documentation, according to the station placement; hence,
an abandoned accumulation pool situated at an orchards
field will be converted to the city agricultural station; a water tower within
a residential area will serve as a record of the city population growth and as
a database for its habitants. A marked
bike route, which is partly exists, will serve the traffic between those
stations, and bicycle pairs would be loaned to serve the travelers.

Station
No.5
will be hosted in the city first water tower (1920's) situated in the town
square, next to municipality buildings and primary urban institutions. It will
be a key point in the tour and will offer a variety of educational and cultural
activities, while functioning as a lookout and leisure attraction in a central
city location.On the entry level, the lower water pool will be
diverted into exhibition space displaying the history of the local site and the
city. The open gap of concrete columns between the lower and the upper pool
will be converted into a vertical garden, holding observation shafts and explanations
points. The upper concrete pool cylinder will host lectures and
movies; a wide porch will offer panoramic view for distance; the rooftop of the tower will function as a cafeteria
during day and night.
Sustainedenvelope
During the years the concrete facades of this tower became a
carrier for network infrastructure and electricity systems and as a huge canvas
for urban vandalism experiments, despite its central location in the heart of the
main street.Along with the programmatic revival of the tower, the project
wishes to offer a new outfit the city's old servant; The lightskin made of
metal nets stretched across the tower facade, will be covered with climbing
vegetation creating a climate solution to the vertical garden within the
building torso.The new facade will maintain the
historical symbol of the city as an urban landmark while arousing a fresh and modern
appearance to it.
