Building With the Neighbours
Ramat Gan, Israel · Completed, 2022
A courtyard renovation designed across eleven kitchen-table meetings.

Each meeting ended with one decision written on the wall. Nothing was reopened once written.

Reflection
Shared space only survives if the people who share it can point at the moment they agreed to it.
