Israel National Library
​(Competition Entry)


Devising a physical building to house  the rich written collection of an errant people was a conceptual tour-de-force.
​
We decided to focus on the very decision of placing the building in Jerusalem and explore the Jerusalem stone as a starting point.

The 'quarry' became the generating image, referring to the seminal character of the Jewish literary corpus.

We opted for open-ended  architectural language and compositional principles, reflecting the open-endedness of the Jewish tradition.
