UP is a product line that includes both furnishing and lighting elements for urban environments aiming to connect different people, markets and cultures. This design is a result of a young and inspiring team who think differently in principle and features from a bicycle stand and bollard to a bench. This formal design idea is carried throughout the entire product line and will enable the user to plan and produce more aesthetically rational cityscape. This product was developed in order to make our future cities more pleasant, attractive, and livable, and make the people happier than ever.
Just because of the efficient functionality of this product line, it has received various positive feedbacks from many important personnel. The starting point of designing this useful product collection was the simple and rounded bollard. Different functions were adjoined by making various incisions and the main outline was converted into a wide-ranging and versatile range of products. In order to get the most from the product line, placing and organizing them accordingly is very much important. Implementing these artifacts will surely bring a significant difference in the appearance of our current city life which will be able to change the entire lifestyle of the urban city people.

Today with lot of environmental developments happening world over like global warming, energy crisis, lifestyle changes, it’s become even more difficult to design houses meeting all these requirements. More and more architectural designs are using digital technologies with respect to modeling, simulation, evaluation and fabrication resulting in complex shaped buildings which incorporates the above challenges. One such project is coming up in Tel Aviv whose primary resources are sun, wind, and land and these are fairly distributed amongst these complex structures thus making an optimum utilization of all. It’s of course high quality housing complete with latest gadgets but run on the natural resources. Architect Yiftach Ben Meir, the designer, is a recent graduate from The Faculty Of Architecture and Town Planning at Technion, Israel Institute of Technology (IIT). His final project SeaO2 was conceived under the framework of Tecnion Computer Oriented Design Studio, T_Code with the instruction of dr. Yasha j. Grobman.
Text from Yiftach :
SeaO2 is an experimental ecological housing project. The project poses an alternative to current plans for Tel Aviv North West coastal district. SeaO2 demonstrates vast use of cutting edge computer software, some being used in the aerospace industry, in order to improve building performance and to ensure the existence of a sustainable urban environment with a minimal ecological footprint. The project final form is a consequence of a scientific approach that calculates numerous of elements: the sun orbit, wind conditions, maximum open scenic views, very high density and more, all in a free-form organic manner.
Advanced Computer Simulations ensure the project’s credibility. The project’s unique morphology enables: optimized solar reception for heating at winter time, self-shadowing and solar reception for electricity generation at summer time, natural lighting, optimized natural ventilation, open looks to the natural coastal environment, public green spaces, rain collection and more. Various passive mechanical systems complement the basic morphology, enable better performance and create an energy efficient, environmentally friendly housing project
