"Jerusalem of stone and light..." or "Flying without detaching from the rock"

The guiding principle in developing the architectural idea was to create a project that seemed to be carved out of the local context - urban, cultural, scenic, climatic, material, and at the same time one that creates an original, up-to-date and inspiring language.

A project that creates a new interpretation and a modern layer for Jerusalem architecture.

A project that will manage to break free and fly without detaching from the rock...

The development process simulated quarrying and sculpting in a blocky mass, in the local rock. The starting point was the full given volume, and on it we began to exert forces in accordance with the context and vision, with a significant part of the development being through subtraction ("sculpture is created through subtraction" Michelangelo).
