Inspired by Tel Aviv’s persistent rainwater management challenges, I created a three-part project aimed at urging the city to change its approach.
In the first act, I proposed a practical solution by designing water seepage holes to be installed across the city, allowing rainwater to flow directly into the aquifer beneath. This intervention was intended to reduce runoff and help sustainably manage rainwater. When this plan didn’t gain traction, I moved to the second act—a large-scale installation demonstrating the volume of rainwater falling on the rooftop of Habima, Israel’s national theater, which, like most rainwater in Tel Aviv, ends up wasted and flowing into the sea. As a final resort, I created a "how-to" manual for emergency flood preparedness, guiding residents on assembling an emergency raft from everyday items to escape potential floods. Through these acts, the project advocates for a more sustainable approach to rainwater management in the city.
