Inspired by the design of beehive, Ramot Polin Housing Complex near Jerusalem was grand but unfortunately a controversial project by the known Israel- based architect, Zvi Hecker. Constructed in late 1970s, this unusual housing project was also tagged as one of the strangest structures in the world. Just like the beehive, the residences in this project are stuck to each other, forming a congested setup. Though the designing concept was quite innovative and unique, it did not proved to be much comfortable and cozy living space. From the architecture point of view, the project is worth appreciating and its iconic structure also serves as a landmark site. This ultra-modern residential complex was developed for the orthodox middle-class families of Israel. The Housing Ministry at that time had asked for such grouped residential project for the dwelling of the orthodox crowd. The honeycomb type construction or a structure that looked like crystalline rocks, as soon as the construction got completed, immediately gained attention and was published in famous magazines and listed in the strangest buildings list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project details:<\/strong><br \/>\nWith respect to the other buildings in Israel, Ramot Polin Housing Complex had a peculiar shape that was contrasting with the city landscape. The asymmetrical patterns and the geometric pentagon shape was definitely unique style of construction at that time. Over 700 dwelling units were developed with prefabricated pentagonal concrete blocks. As the buildings are constructed at different level, it creates a wide zigzag and in between each level of the buildings there is an inner courtyard which was incorporated as a tribute to the traditional courtyards of the old Jewish environs. Though the exterior and the outer view of this residential complex are praiseworthy, the interior, all together has a different story. The unusual geometric shape of the building had many shortcomings in the interior design which developed a concern among the dwellers. Initially when the residents used to stay here, they had to face many practical problems like lack of natural light, narrow and congested balconies, unfeasible wall, drainage issues etc. which almost made this extraordinary construction attempt, a failure but later the improvements added new life to the set up. The residents decided to renovate the interiors; they expanded the size of the rooms and enlarged the windows for making entry for the natural light. Geometric edges have been lessened, for better ventilation, air conditioners have been installed and even balconies are now made a bit spacious. There are few critics who feel that improvements by residents cannot hide the designing flaws by the architects and designers.<\/p>\n<p>Not every innovation is successful but the attempt to create something new itself is an achievement. Even if this beehive like habitat had some drawbacks, it still has the power to get noticed and also emerge as one of the weird and wonderful architectural marvels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The identical and precisely constructed honeycomb for honeybee is an exceptional example of insect engineering while with same precision and uniformity, a colossal beehive constructed for human beings is an outstanding model of human engineering.
