Tel Aviv based Chyutin Architects have won a competition for the new Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. The project will replace a previous scheme done by Frank Gehry. More images and architect’s description after the break.
The Museum of Tolerance is located at the heart of modern Jerusalem, in its rejuvenated city center, on the borderline between the spacious Independence Park, and the urban built environment. The location is a meeting site of three main streets which differ in character and function. Hillel street: a bustling commercial zone; Moshe Ben Israel street: a road crossing the park; and Moshe Salomon street- Nachalat Shiva’s pedestrian mall, a tourist hub, full of restaurants and shops.
