Visitors’ Center, National Heritage Site,

Ein Keshatot, Golan Heights, 2018

Emphasizing the vertical work in section (as opposed

to horizontal work in plan), the design creates a

transparent façade overlooking the Sea of Galilee

on one hand, while on the other hand – an entrance

facade sunk into the topography. A row of columns

made of basalt rocks is incorporated into the concrete

construction along the visiting route, which ends in a

lecture hall opening onto the fascinating landscape. The

460 sq.m. building includes a cafeteria, lecture hall and

protected space.

Architects:

Danny and Smadar Raz.
