Abu Gosh, 1997

 

 

 

 
 


Architects: Orit Vilenberg-Giladi (Project Architect - Guido Herszage)

Landscape Architects: Miller-Bloom

 

 
Situated at the heart of the village Abu Gosh, this building is the main wing of the three-wing plan.


At the center of each is an internal hall designated for assemblies.


Innovative development of traditional elements such as domes, vaults, arches, and external staircases, produced with modern building materials, express both the progressiveness of the village and the architects' ability to combine modern construction methods within a traditional fabric.


The use of smaller sections instead of one large mass, and the integration of motifs taken from the opposite hillside, contribute to the success of the project.
