The event, taking place on 24 June 2026, is held in conjunction with the exhibition “The Appendix: Geddes’ Vertical Plan” by Polish architect and designer Agata Woźniczka, curated by Sabrina Cegla.

Patrick Geddes’ urban plan continues to influence the character of Tel Aviv a century after it was written. But what place do its humanistic and ecological principles have in a dense city undergoing rapid development while facing climate, social, and economic challenges?

Through a series of lectures and an open discussion with the audience, the evening offers a speculative and critical reading of the Geddes Plan—not as a closed historical document, but as a living framework that can be updated, disrupted, reinterpreted, and challenged.

Inspired by the architectural speculation proposed by the exhibition, participants will explore issues of urban density, green infrastructure, communal living, civic space, sustainability, and the tension between public values and market forces shaping the city.

The event brings together leading voices from architecture, urban planning, design, publishing, and civic thought for a multidisciplinary discussion on the spatial logic of the city and the possibilities of imagining it anew.

About the Exhibition

Marking the centenary of the Geddes Plan, the Project Room at Beit Liebling presents “The Appendix: Geddes’ Vertical Plan”—a new installation by Agata Woźniczka proposing a radical approach to preserving the White City while bringing Patrick Geddes’ vision for Tel Aviv into dialogue with the skyscraper reality of the 21st century. The exhibition examines how the ecological and humanistic values embedded in Geddes’ 1925 plan can be reconciled with the climatic, urban, and social challenges of today.
