ABOUT:

A sports and cultural center located in the eastern part of the city in quarter 9'. The project includes two halls, which can be connected into one hall, semi-Olympic swimming pool, a therapeutic pool on the sub-ground level, and on its southern side a community center which integrates classrooms and a library. The project creates one urban courtyard which integrates all the entrances, yet also enables the maximal separation for all its sections. The design expresses flowing lines which converge into an elegant spectacle, which connects between the cultural and the sportive content. The most significant challenge of the building is to maintain modesty in a city where the majority of its population is religious, which is carried out by separating entrances so that the building can be used at the same time. In order to make the most of the public areas, the swimming pools were built underground through an underground world, where there is also an auditorium for multi-participant events. The formative is the assembly of several masses into a uniform structure, and the use of many details to create openings.
