The design for the New Campus for the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design aims to unite with its greatest asset - the City of Jerusalem and its people. The New Bezalel Academy design will allow the campus to participate in the life of the city by redefining boundaries. It will stitch together the urban fabric that will become the Cultural Center of the city and Israeli culture. This design aspires to become an interface between the Academy and the community, and between the Art departments. The key to accomplishing this unity is to provide a myraid of meeting places designed to extend the opportunity for the interaction of ideas.
