Bezalel’s plan – to consolidate and relocate a campus into a single building within the city – was an unprecedented opportunity for two experiments. First, the potential for an art school, dense and efficient, yet as informal as its previous incarnation and, second, the integration of that institution into the historic fabric of Jerusalem – into the culture of an Israel under contiual pressure to transform. Consolidated program is arranged according to a spectrum of potential that manages the vague borders between programme for focused production, that with the potential for disciplinary cross-breeding and functions and activities ripe for integration with the city. In collaboration with Matthew Murphy.
