架构师提供的文本描述。以色列耶路撒冷中心一片260德南的空地，位于Givat Mordechai社区的边缘，在繁忙的Pat交叉口对面，是以一群住在这个地区的17只羚羊命名的，以城市发展和主要的交通路线为界。由于这一大规模的城市发展，羚羊的数量处于危险之中。上世纪90年代初，房地产开发商一直在该地区寻求建房权。在以色列自然保护协会(SPNI)的支持下，当地的活动人士为保护这个自然绿洲而奋斗，并把它变成了一个城市自然公园。经过漫长的法庭斗争，最终以激进分子的胜利而告终，建筑计划被置之不理。自然公园的另一个方案是由当地的活动家在一个独特的公共规划过程中创建的。

Text description provided by the architects. An open space of 260 dunams in the heart of Jerusalem, Israel, on the edge of the Givat Mordechai neighborhood, opposite the busy Pat Intersection It is named after a herd of 17 gazelles that lived in this area, bounded by urban development and major transportation routes. The population of gazelles was in danger due to this massive urban development. In the early '90s, Real estate developers have sought building rights in the area. Local activist supported by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) fought to preserve the site as a natural oasis and turn it into an urban nature park. After lengthy court battles, that ended in the activist victory, the building plans where dimissed .An alternative plan for the nature park was created by the Local activist in a unique public planning process.

该计划已提交市政府，市政当局随后决定采纳这一构想，并将其转化为一个业务规划进程。我们的公司，旁边是一家景观建筑公司的蕾切尔维纳景观。

The plan was presented to the municipality, who then decided to adopt the idea and turn it into an operative planning process. Our firm, alongside with a Landscape architecture firm of Rachelle Wiener Landscape & Architecture, were appointed as designers and leaders of the planning team. In January 2013, work began on the park, which is described as Israel’s first urban wild nature reserve.
