Located in the heart of Jerusalem, next to Israel’s government assembly building, the second prize winning proposal in the Jerusalem Museum of Nature & Science competition creates a vibrant flexible building that integrates seamlessly into the landscape and urban setting. Designed by MYS Architects, their design approach was sustainability driven from the get go. More images and architects’ description after the break.

The project includes a new combined home for the Jerusalem science museum and the City’s nature museum. The site is also located next to the National Museum which is the country’s most important art and history museum, and the new National Library site. The site presented great challenges. The site, albeit being in an area of high public interest, is disconnected from the city urban fabric. A “rift” exists between three different urban strips caused by topography, lack of cross paths and absence of “city-life” fostering streetscapes.
