gran mediterraneo architecture, landscape urbanism, vehicle design place tel aviv, israel program mixed use high-rise creative authorship david tajchman design team luc izri, david tajchman year march 2016- status ongoing The Gran Mediterraneo is an innovative concept of High-Rise that integrates a public automated car-park, operates as the first induction charging station for public and shared electric driverless vehicles in the city (future 'sherut'), and mixes programs of vertical living: residential apartments and hotel, bars and restaurants, farming and public gardens, swimming pools and dead sea spas, co-working spaces for offices and start-ups, educational and events spaces. Innovative also with its topological geometry giving a spiral effect to the high-rise, the Gran Mediterraneo breaks with the global and usual stacking of horizontal slabs wrapped with mirrored glass, aiming to renew Tel Aviv skyline with a 'Unesco proclaimed white city' specific vertical architecture.
