The Israeli duo, L2 Tsionov-Vitkon Architects in association with architect Ofir Nahum has shared with us their entry to the Agamon Hakhula Visitor Center Competition, which has been awarded second prize. More images and a description from the architects after the jump.
Agamon Hula The Agamon Hula was for centuries a shallow lake, that hosted a large variety of fauna and flora. The lake was located in the Hula Valley, north to the sea of Galilee. In the 1950s, the valley’s scenery changed dramatically, due to the draining of the lake and its surrounding wetland. The draining operation led to the first major environmental struggle in Israel, which led to the founding of The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel and to the declaration of the Hula Valley as the first nature reserve in Israel.
