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:
“In that land all Is and nothing’s Ought;
No owners or notices, only birds;”
—William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
“After all anybody is as their land and air is. Anybody is as the sky is low or high. Anybody is as there is wind or no wind there. That is what makes a people, makes their kind of looks, their kind of thinking, their subtlety and their stupidity, and their eating and their drinking and their language.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
