| This unusual building's spatial perception expresses the schools, newly liberated from convention, which are currently prevailing in Israel. The building constitutes a rich and stimulating environment for its students.
The circular courtyard wrapping around classrooms and support rooms and the central multifunctional plaza depict the school as a children's village. Lighting effects enrich the learning |
| experience and create a feeling of an adventure park. Partially sunken into a shallow slope which sits along the green space of the neighborhood, the building with its sloping, earth-like walls will eventually be covered with climbing vines. The two classroom floors and the central courtyard open with bridges and windows onto the green expanse which abuts the neighborhood. | |
