English term or phrase: They lift the city onto pillars

Testo teatrale israeliano. Monologo di un personaggio a proposito degli architetti di Tel Aviv negli anni '30:

They lift the city onto pillars —a new invention in those years—and they do everything to allow the air to flow from the sea through the pillars.

La mia proposta:

Sollevano la città sui pilastri – una nuova invenzione di quegli anni – e fanno di tutto per permettere all’aria di fluire dal mare attravero i pilastri.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!

Explanation:
Io starei meno sul letterale, qui è il concetto (il sollevare la città per darle leggerezza e quindi aria) che vince sul mezzo (i pilastri) attraverso il quale si attua la trasformazione urbanistica.
