Manifest
We shape our buildings, and afterward, our buildings shape us.”
Winston Churchill in a speech in the House of Commons on October 28, 1944.
We at TZAMIR believe that the design of environments big, like cities or small, like buildings, is a result of people's and designer's ideas. After environments are occupied, they change people's ideas and behavior for better or worse. Hence, good design makes people better.
Scope
The company povides a full range of Urban, Regional, and National Planning services supported by GIS proficiencies.
The practice is led by Yigal Tzamir, former Professor of Architecture & Planning at the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology). He founded Tzamir company in 1991, and since then has been leading numerous multi-disciplinary planning assignments on the national, regional, and local scales.
Our experience includes extensive international practice, especially in Africa over the past 12 years. The Israeli experience is even longer, beyond 30 years. It covers national physical plans, Regional and Metropolitan Plans, Urban Plans on an entire city scale, neighborhood plans, Waterfront Plans, and the design of large-scale commercial, industrial, and tourism Projects.
We pride ourself on our comprehensive, integrated planning methodology, the implementation of “state of the art” professional tools, and on its creativity and innovation in meeting varied professional challenges through Multi-disciplinary teamwork.
