Encounters- Tambour Compound

 ENCOUNTERS: Israeli Architecture
 
 
 
   TAMBOUR COMPOUND 
 
Acre, 1995

 

 

 

 
 


Architect: Moshe Tzur
 


 
This administrative compound is located in the heart of the industrial district of Acre. Comprised of two structures, a plaza, and a courtyard, the constellation assimilates local functional needs with the advanced high-tech substance of the company. The layout is based on four cubes of different constructional expressions - two cubes support the management building (one of which is a forest of columns), and the other two support the research building.

The two buildings enclose an open courtyard which functions on one side as

the entry approach and on the other as protected private outdoor space. The flow between the distinct elements is further strengthened by the use of transparent walls and the paving pattern which extends from the lobby out into the plaza and courtyard.
