This cultural center demonstrates an architectural sequence which successfully interfaces with the shores of the lake.


Winner of the 1994 Richter Prize, the center includes conference rooms, one of which is "The Peace Room" where peace talks with Jordan were held.


Metal palm trees support the pergola and extend into the main hall, symbolically linking the building to the natural surrounding palm groves.


The center also includes a restaurant, cinema, and a library.
