One Land
In 2004, the Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory (FAST) organized an international architecture and design competition for the development of an alternative master plan for Ein Hawd. More than 100 plans from more than 30 countries were received. The winners of the competition, a group of architects and designers from France, Germany and Israel have developed what they believe is a sustainable solution for the village. The project is divided into two parts, "One Land," a continuation of One Land Two Systems project, and an art show, "Platform Paradise."
The One Land program consists of an alternative master plan; a landscape plan; the Golden Heart Pavilion as the first community building in Ein Hawd; a market combining agriculture, tourism, aesthetics and local hospitality; a restaurant called Habait, or el-Beit (The Home); a school and community center; an exhibit of the history of the village; a hotel and an outdoor cinema.

Famous quotes containing the word land:
“It is up to my spirit to find the truth. But how? Grave uncertainty, each time the spirit feels beyond its own comprehension; when it, the explorer, is altogether to obscure land that it must search and where all its baggage is of no use. To search? That is not all: to create.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I wish I was in de land ob cotton,
Old times dar am not forgotten,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land whar I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin’,”
—Daniel Decatur Emmett (1815–1904)
