Talpiot

We had to create a model of this building for our first project this semester. Well, this is a building that was designed to be a market, it's very much neglected today and is about to fall apart, though plans are being made to reconstruct it and turn it into a museum, I for one would have liked to study there architecture between those fruit and vegetables and fish standings!

Talpiot is an old neighborhood in Jerusalem, it was the first neighborhood to be designed as a modern neighborhood.

Although, this building is located in Haifa, it was named after Talpiot as a gesture for the old neighborhood I suppose.

I did this drawing after we visited the site.
