Biography
I'm a maker since I remember myself. born and raized in the countryside I found my building stuff in my free time. raised by very practical and talented parents, an architect mother, and a mechanical engineer father that taught me how to look at the physical world with a critical eye and gave me tools to make. for the last four years, I'm learning how to turn my curiosity for this world, people, and cultures into innovative and surprising experiences with design tools.Give us a hint about you
Tidhar Zagagi (1992) is a designer, maker, and design student in both Bezalel of Art and Design Jerusalem and Design Academy Eindhoven. Deeply inspired by nature, people, and culture, Tidhar constantlMy superpower
curiosity - my curiosity is my guiding lite, it's been always there from Yung age until now. it's my superpower because it keeps me motivated to discover and to push myself to the unknown.Projects
Project 1
Pixel Shoe (2021) is a one-man shoe factory that explores the past and the future of craft manufacturing. In an intimate exchange between customer and manufacturer, each party contributes in the production of a bespoke piece of footwear. By leveraging the speed and plasticity of PU foam casting, within a few minutes the customer leaves with an affordable ergonomic shoe, molded to the exact shape of their sole and fused to their socks. Pixel Shoe embraces a low-tech approach to custom manufacturing to approximate scenarios in the near future when large factories and sweatshops will no longer be needed, and mass production will be replaced with mass customization. The engagement of the consumer in the production processes, including in their 3D body scanning, awards them greater agency to make real-time decisions about the aesthetics, functionality and fit of their chosen product.

Furthermore, the incorporation of brand name elements into the production process opens the question of the significance of intellectual ownership in the age of digital manufacturing.
Project 2
Torii is a proposal for the future studio table for the Department of Industrial Design at the Bezalel Academy as part of the transition plan to a new academy campus designed by the japanese architecture studio SANAA. In order to create a cozy and spacious workspace, I chose to group 6 personal workstations in one large table. In my proposal, each student is given a personal pace that meets the needs of the day-to-day work in the department - large storage, locked storage, shelving, electricity, and a privacy envelope. The table is made of fiberglass truss, white wood pallets, and aluminum extrusion, the partitions,and shutters can be made of many materials and material remnants. The table is strong and massive but at the same time, similar to the new campus architecture it represents lightness, transparency, and movement in horizontal axes. Guidance - Safi Hefetz

Project 3
Material research 3D printing on elastic fabric The project deals with creating a complex system of 3 dimensional morphologies. These morphologies are created by limiting the movement of fabric. When stretched, elastic knitted fabric holds a potential force. We chose to exploit this potential by using a 2.5 dimensional layer to deform the fabric. The result are complex 3D forms that occur when the pre stretched fabric is released. We chose to use this method to make shoes for further exploration. This project was a collaboration with Aram Amir Pundak. Guidance - Dr. Arielle Blonder
