Standing at 24m high this 1,300 sq m pavilion is a symbol of interdependent relationships, ‘a quiet conversation between man and earth, man and man, nation and nation’. Two curvilinear forms merge together in a calm, swirling display of dialog between symbolic entities. Haim Dotan Architects suggest that ‘Within the two forms are two uplifting architectural spaces, symbolising the spirituality of the ancient Jewish nation’. As such, the interior space is split into three exhibition areas – Enlightened Garden, Hall of Light and Hall of Innovations. This progression exemplifies Israel’s awareness of its traditional heritage and tracks its journey towards an innovative future – equally displayed by the interlocking architectural forms of the pavilions exterior.
