PROJECT: A city formed out of the garbage dump. The slopes are stabilized by concrete mesh. Near the highway, the walls spiral out to form a stadium surrounded by the shell of a convention center; an office building is plugged into the shell. A cut-out of mesh forms a power plant that collects methane gas from the dump and distributes it to the city; the ventilation shaft rises like a flag-pole. At the other end of the dump, private houses are plugged into the mesh that stretches up and outward; they reach out for the view of Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean. On the southern slopes, solar panels are inserted into the mesh. The water-channels on three sides are joined together and turned into wetlands. The irregular top of the dump is planed out into fields for crops and a grazing land for cows. The trees of a public park descend an incline and break through the wall, cantilevering over the wetlands. From the highway, a road descends underground and comes up onto islands of parking in the wetlands. A monorail ascends the top edge of the concrete-mesh; funiculars descend the wall. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/hiriya_garbage_dump/index.html">Hiriya Garbage Dump</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/1999/index.html">1999</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Dar%C3%ADo%20N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez/index.html">Darío Núñez</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Garbage-Waste/index.html">Garbage-Waste</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Hiriya%20Garbage%20Dump/index.html">Hiriya Garbage Dump</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Israel/index.html">Israel</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Luis%20Vera/index.html">Luis Vera</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parks%20and%20Gardens/index.html">Parks and Gardens</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Theoretical/index.html">Theoretical</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Transportation/index.html">Transportation</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Watersides-Outlands/index.html">Watersides-Outlands</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/313/01_MS.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/313/01_MS.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/313/01_MS.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
