global well   | we are smarter than me

expo | dubai 2020 | proposal for the competition

in our space, the middle east, the water sources and above all the wells have always been the meeting points between people, communities and peoples. around the wells they gathered, got to know each other, shared information, shared challenges, identified opportunities, shared ideas, and joined together in a joint effort. around the wells they realized the potential in connecting people and from there they set out to implement. in this era, technological platforms constitute the global wells and allow blurring borders, bringing hearts together, and connecting minds for a better future. israel as a technological powerhouse in a variety of fields is a global well, an open and inviting HUB, a source of knowledge and a sharing center that combines forces and minds with the aim of creating a better world, for the entire world. a cube, a geometric volume, universal, efficient, which floats in an astonishing way. above the mirroring pool of the case is an excavated structure. the water falls from the cube and feeds the infinity pool. at the same time, they are also the ones who give her the ability to float and give her a unique show and superpowers. the mighty streams of water are a collection of millions of individual drops, expressing a flow of information and a combination of forces. the narrative is of mutual relations based on connection and sharing, cross-border relations that open up a variety of new possibilities for a better future. the journey to the new well, the global well, which floats fantastically in the air and represents the future begins with a gentle descent towards a dug level. the descent is through a pool that reflects its surroundings, makes the water/information accessible and represents the present. the excavated level is based on a typology of local traditional construction. a climatically efficient structure, around a courtyard / well / patio. a typology that encourages a meeting, a gathering around one central focus, around a common idea.
