Bat-Yam Biennale of Landscape Urbanism
Under the theme “Timing,” the Bat Yam Biennale of Urban Landscape Architecture examined how landscape urbanism can operate as a catalyst for urban transformation within conditions of limited development-driven resources. The biennale unfolded as a distributed field of site-specific interventions across the city, bringing together research-based and artistic practices to interrogate underused urban conditions and their latent spatial, social, and environmental capacities. It also engaged the city’s coastline as an infrastructural and territorial condition. In this context, projects explored the integration of wind and solar energy systems into the urban landscape, as well as the evolving relationship between environmental infrastructure and public space.
Role included curatorial involvement from the open call stage, contribution to the development of the curatorial and spatial framework, mapping of sites and articulation of the biennale’s spatial logic across the city, site selection and planning of individual interventions, coordination with municipal authorities, and support in production and installation processes.
