Rendering

Unworked stone walls were plastered with thick, coarse lime. Today , parts of

the stone walls have been exposed.

Kurkar stone is only rarely decorated with engravings, etc.

The structures have been restored in various periods, so several types of lime

can be found on them, including lime with pigmentation, with a pattern and,

more recently , “splashed”.

Sometimes bricks or clay bottles were used to make a decorative railing around

the roof .

Openings and projections in the facade

The facade is plain and flat, with small, randomly distributed rectangular

openings

of various sizes. Originally these openings simply had wooden shutters and no

glass panes. More advanced versions included the rectangular window with

bars

and shutters made of slatted wood.

Wooden balconies and “arcades” are suspended on the stone structure.

Implantation

This typology is grouped and implanted in an urban environment. The urban

concept of apartment buildings constructed on pillars did not take root in

(Mandatory ) Jaffa. The modern house is situated in the center of the unit, cut

of from the street, like the mansion house and the decorated apartment

building.

The modernist revolution in architecture (International Sty le) affected Jaffa,

and modern houses began appearing in the 1930s and 1940s. The Mandate

rule and the houses of Tel Av iv helped promote this new trend.

Urban blockFORMS OF THE TYPOLOGY

A city block, urban block or simply block is a central element of urban planning and urban design. A city block is the smallest area that is surrounded by streets. City blocks are the space for buildings within the street pattern of a city, they form the basic unit of a city's urban fabric. City blocks may be subdivided into any number of smaller lots or parcels of land usually in private ownership, though in some cases, it may be other forms of tenure. City blocks are usually built-up to varying degrees and thus form the physical containers or 'streetwalls' of public space. Most cities are composed of a greater or lesser variety of sizes and shapes of urban block. For example, many pre-industrial cores of cities in Europe, Asia and the Middle-east tend to have irregularly shaped street patterns and urban blocks, while cities based on grids have much more regular arrangements.

Theory

Urban blockGRID PLAN

In most cities of the world that were planned, rather than

developing gradually over a long period of time, streets are

typically laid out on a grid plan, so that city blocks are square or

rectangular. Using the perimeter block development principle, city

blocks are developed so that buildings are located along the

perimeter of the block, with entrances facing the street, and semi-

private courtyards in the rear of the buildings.[1] This arrangement

is intended to provide good social interaction among people.

Odessa in 1853

Theory

Urban blockSUPERBLOCK

Superblocks were popular during the early and mid-20th century, arising from modernist ideas in architecture and urban

planning. A superblock is much larger than a traditional city block, with greater setback for buildings, and is typically

bounded by widely spaced, high-speed, arterial or circulating routes rather than by local streets. Superblocks are generally

associated with suburbs, planned cities, and the urban renewal of the mid-20th century; that is, in areas in which a

street hierarchy has replaced the traditional grid. In a residential area of a suburb, the interior of the superblock is typically

served by cul-de-sac roads.

Urban planner Clarence Perry argued for use of superblocks and related ideas in his "neighborhood unit" plan, which aimed

to organize space in a way that is more pedestrian-friendly and provided open plazas and other space for residents to

socialize.[2] In the 1930s, superblocks were often used in urban renewal public housing projects in American cities.[3] In using

superblocks, housing projects aimed to eliminate back alleys, which were often associated with slum conditions. [3]

Superblocks are also used when functional units such as rail yards or housing projects are too big to fit in one block.

A well-known example of a superblock is the World Trade Center site in New York City, where several streets of Manhattan's

downtown grid were removed to make room for the center.
