Brief About The Project: 

The project aims to rethink the driving dynamics of growth of the city of Bethlehem. Such dynamics; network (which is a tool for expansion) and architecture, (a tool for economic growth) are rethought as one cohesive system that builds up the city space. As for Bethlehem, the relation between the old town networks and its expanded zones is strengthened by emphasizing/proposing 3 main architectural entities as transportation hubs in the city and main portals between the old networks and the expanded infrastructure, while each hub hosts a specific event based on the phenomena in its context
