Dezeen in Israel: here are some images of the recently opened new wing at the
Tel Aviv Museum of Art, which has a dramatically faceted atrium piercing its centre.
Designed by American architect
Preston Scott Cohen, the Herta and Paul Amir Building has a spiralling plan with two storeys above ground and three underground floors.
You can see
more stories about Israeli architecture and interiors here, or if you’re interested in furniture and product design from Israel you can check out
our special feature here.
Although the building has a triangular plan, these exhibition galleries
are rectangular and display art, design, architecture and photography.
Galleries overlook the 26-metre-high atrium through long windows that slice through its angled walls.
Walls fold around the entrances to these rooms and appear on approach to be wafer-thin.
The museum has a tessellated concrete exterior where windows match the shapes of the triangular and rectangular panels.
Photography is by
Amit Geron.
