“The Museum’s program set the challenge of providing several floors of large, neutral, rectangular galleries within a tight, idiosyncratic, triangular site. The solution we proposed was to “square the triangle” by constructing the levels on different axes, which deviate significantly from floor to floor and are unified by the Lightfall. This decision enabled us to combine two seemingly irreconcilable paradigms of the contemporary art museum: the museum of neutral white boxes, which provides optimal, flexible space for the exhibition of art, and the museum of spectacle, which moves visitors and offers a remarkable social experience. In this way, the Amir Building’s synthesis of radical and conventional geometries produces a new type of museum experience, one that is as rooted in the Baroque as it is in the Modern.”

The Amir Building doubles the exhibition space of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and adds an unprecedented work of contemporary architecture to the campus of the Museum, Israel’s principal institution of modern and contemporary art, and provides a new international landmark at the center of Israel’s cultural capital.
