"Xu Shu Guan" Double Bridge Renew Design

With the dissolution of the colonial rule, the African countries gained independence, as did the State of Israel. This historical narrative created a common socialistic ideological denominator. Since then the African countries have undergone many upheavals and the mutual acquaintance has been replaced by hostility. The diplomatic ties had renewed during the ’90s in terms of capitalism interests. The project examines those relations and responds to the neo-colonialism trend of concerns re-invasion on Africa ground, by establishing a railway infrastructure designed to leverage the relations in a bi-directional and egalitarian manner. The project presents feasibility for two stations: The first in Juba-South-Sudan, as a prime example of the potential for Israel to base the relations on humanitarian aid, and a chance to quarantine the cynicism inherent with the capitalism that strikes over the continent. The second, in Beer Sheva, Israel. In the not so long past, under the Ottoman rule in Palestine, Israel was connected to African by a railway line. The track traversed from Beer Sheva toward Africa and crossed three hundred miles long. The second name of it was the “Egyptian Railroad”. The new planning of the station will create an international terrestrial gateway to Israel.
