The Tel Aviv Museum of Art Amir Building, designed by Preston Scott Cohen, has been created to complement the existing construction. The building is the answer to a difficult architectural challenge: the need to create neutral rectangular galleries, starting from the plant and narrow triangle of the original building.
To solve the problem, the architect designs a series of twisting geometric surfaces that connect the disparate angles of the galleries and refract natural light. The new building represents a synthesis of two opposing views: the museum of neutral white rooms and the museum of architectural spectacle.
The rectangular galleries are arranged around an atrium spiral called "Lightfall." The structure seems to support any plan on a different axis and structural systems seem stacked according to a circular and vertical structure.
The architectural language combines an aspect traditionalist and one international.
