I went to see that place 2 month ago and it is absolutely fabulous.
Not only by its magnificent design but at the way it brings everybody together.
They also have radio station at the middle of the space made of glass construction (I know not very sustainable – specially at this hot weather) however you can listen live to the radio and see celebrities / rock bands being interviewed while your kids running about.

the sitting-stones are real stones, but of course prepared
and yes the wodden floor it is getting a bit slicky if it is wet but still it is ok.
the annoying thing about this area is that it seems to be a typical fancy yuppie-area

This really reminds me of the ferry terminal in Yokohama by FOA. Maybe a case of taking a reference too literal?

this doe’snt look like a normal simple deck construction-
what I realy wonder is about the ondulation of the material itself: does know somebody what kind of wood is it? It looks like they took each wood element one by one in the ondulating areas giving a special form to get these really subtil ondulation..? What a work!
If you watch a deck like the one in Yokohama, you will see that all wooden peaces are straight, result is much less smooth..
Somebody has some information about theconstruction of the deck ?

Tranquill atmosphere but it lacks green and shade. I think some nice trees would be welcome in a place as hot as tel – aviv. Are the stone seats made of plastic? They look unnatural anyway…
Does anybody know if it gets sleeky when it rains?

Michael, I can’t help thinking about why the Palestinians are not allowed to set foot on the Tel Aviv port: It would be a prime target for suicide bombers with the number Israeli families who go there on their weekends and Israeli youths who go to its clubs in the evenings.

Say what you want about the security fence, but the number of suicide bombings in Israel have gone down by over 50% since it has been built – an easy decision for any government to make.
