The Tel Aviv Local Planning and Building Committee yesterday rejected a plan by architect Avraham Yaski for Kikar Hamedina. The site's landowners chose Yaski's plan for the site.
The Local Planning Committee ruled that Yaski's plan deviated from the instructions in the outline plan, which permits the construction of three high-rises. Yaski designed three pairs of high-rises - six buildings - with no links between them.
The Kikar Hamedina plan, approved in 2000, made headlines during the design competition 18 months ago. The Yaski & Partners firm won the design competition. The design called for three pairs of 25-storey high-rises, with 387 luxury apartments, 15,000 sq.m. of commercial space, 2,700 parking spaces, and 6,000 sq.m. of public space that would be given over to the Tel Aviv municipality.
Tel Aviv municipal engineer Danny Kaizer supported the design of architect Moshe Zur, while some landowners backed the plan submitted by the Rothman-Raz architectural firm. The Local Planning Committee asked all the project's developers to submit all the competing architectural designs.
A "Globes" investigation in October 2002, which relied on the professional parameters that were the basis for the architectural designs, found that Rothman-Raz's design was preferable to Zur's, and far more acceptable than Yaski's.
