Summary:
At the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheva, Israel, the
newly built life sciences complex has provided the ideal meeting
place for avant-garde architecture and state-of-the-art science.
Nestled in the Negev Desert, this institute with a floor area of
14'500m² is a perfect example of the beauty of concrete when used in
an elegant and classical way. Its fine details, the skilful use of
light and space are characteristic examples of the thoughtful design
of this impressive structure. Helene Binet, the renowned
architectural photographer, went to Israel to capture the building in
expressive images especially for this publication. From the very
first plans to the final details, this book documents the genesis of
the building, highlighting the design process through the
juxtaposition of plans and photos. Ada Karmi-Melamede has designed
numerous buildings in Israel and has taught at Columbia and Yale
University in the USA. David S. Robins was project architect of the
Life Sciences Complex.
