Music Center and Library in Tel-Aviv, Israel

January 23, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

Located in Tel-Aviv, Israel, Music Center and Library was designed by Nili Portugali, Architect A.A Dip. The dimensions of the building are in harmony with the human scale of the square. The orange paint of the building, apparently expected to disturb the tranquility of the square, was the element that complemented the blue color of the sky and the green color of the trees, to create a harmony that inspired peace and serenity in the square.

The crown on top of the building provides a graduated link to the sky. At the front, where the building touches the square, an entrance porch was designed for the orchestra to play to the audience sitting in the square, thus creating a physical and human connection between the building and the square. Past the main lobby, at the entrance to the building, is the auditorium, separated from it by a glass wall, through which the orange trees in the garden at the far end can be seen.
