Fragments across Terrain – A Journey in Mate Yehuda

Mateh Yehuda Regional Council is analyzed as a territory shaped by processes of citizenship, prevailing and denied heritage, ecology, social constructs and landscape design over the past few decades. It is one of the significant labs for generating ghosts in the Israeli sphere – not as a metaphor, but as a tangible and living layer. Formations like borders, observation points, memorials, landscape scars, and infrastructures are not merely physical objects, but also active agents in the construction of a cultural, material, and perceptual reality. Set within this spatial demarcation, the methodology of this project travels back and forth – from field to digital, from raw material to image, from scanning to physical positioning. The design move becomes a network of iterations, deconstructions, and repositioning – where every action is also documentation, every finding is also a design tool, and every material is also a cognitive collaborator.
