Tel Aviv, Israel
Mayslits Kassif Roytman Architects was founded in Tel Aviv in 1994 by Ganit Mayslits Kassif and Udi Kassif, later joined by Maor Roytman.

Viewing the built environment as a field for research and innovation, we operate with radical optimism in order to actively design inspiring, just and sustainable places. Rethinking the commonly-held categories of public and private, natural and artificial, and flexible and stable, we aspire to create open spaces, in the wide sense of the term: open to interpretation, open to change, open to the wilderness of diversity. Exploring concepts of generosity, specificity, and possibility, we develop new methodologies such as the MotherPlan and SuperNature as tools for rethinking and operating with contemporary urban and environmental tasks.

Situated on one of Israel’s most breathtaking waterfronts, the Tel Aviv Port was plagued with neglect since 1965, when its primary use as an operational docking port was abandoned. The public space development project managed to restore this unique part of the city, and turn it into a prominent, vivacious urban landmark.
