From Fuel to Water – Our Proposal for the Reading Tank Farm Park Design Competition. Where polluting fuels once flowed, life-giving water will flow: the former fuel tank site is envisioned as an innovative model of urban ecological restoration, demonstrating how 21st-century Tel Aviv can live in harmony with its natural ecosystem. The site’s unique landscape, at the point where the Yarkon River meets the sea, creates an ideal setting for a new urban order — a shift from polluting industry and short-sighted resource use toward cooperation between the city and nature, transforming a closed industrial compound and a symbol of environmental contamination into an open, forward-looking eco-park that connects nature, culture, and community. The park is conceived as an active landscape system integrating recreation, education, and community with a sequence of landscape fragments — hills, lawns, protected gardens, water channels, and riverbanks — operating together as a living urban ecosystem that evolves with the seasons. Water serves as the organizing element — storage, retention, purification, and movement — through systems that emulate natural processes, while water features and public spaces generate diverse experiences of staying, play, learning, and encounter at the unique meeting point between the river and the sea. At the same time, the park functions as a demonstration ground for green technologies and nature-based solutions, and as a living laboratory for blue-green technologies, integrating renewable energy production, smart runoff management, living shading systems, and biodiversity conservation, and creating a nexus between industrial past and sustainable future, urban community and natural environment, and between river and sea.
