Fields of Recovery

Fields of Recovery | From Settlement in the Ta'anakh Region to a Future Space of Healing

The Ta'anakh region, part of the Gilboa Regional Council, lies between Afula and the outskirts of Jenin, along the Kishon Stream. This fertile area, shaped by strategic importance and ideological foundations, hosts a mix of settlements marked by social and economic disparities.

Fields of Recovery maps the region as a complex rural space — layered with infrastructure, agriculture, nature, and diverse human activity. Through the lens of historical relationships and regional collaborations, the project envisions an optimistic future for a space long shaped by tension.

Amid ongoing conflict and in light of upcoming supra-regional infrastructure, the project revives a dormant proposal: the establishment of a regional hospital. Reimagined as a decentralized “field-hospital” network embedded within the agricultural landscape, this model introduces a new typology of care and connectivity.

The project offers a spatial vision for recovery — one that softens boundaries of religion, nationality, and language — and imagines a shared space rooted in healing, partnership, and hope.
