Designed by world renowned designer and architect, Ron Arad, this state of the art building is scheduled to open on 31st January 2010. It has already won its first award (the Conde Nast Traveller Innovation and Design Award for Culture).
The building, which has been under construction for four years, is opening as part of a programme to transform the town of Holon, in central Israel, into a culture and education centre. Ron Arad says, ‘We created a hierarchy of outdoor spaces so you walk in under the building into a semi-covered yard, where you have a choice to take the air-conditioned route or one exposed to the elements. The building envelope is not just a pretty space – it’s also a structure.’
