Academy of the Hebrew Language headquarters, Jerusalem, Israel
ODA has shared a design concept for the Academy of the Hebrew Language headquarters in Israel. The design aims to offers a fluidity of perspectives and connections between the Academy and its surroundings. Three distinct program elements —academy, common spaces/conference center, and exhibition — are arranged around a 56-foot-high central atrium and permeable ground floor. ODA designed the Academy to incorporate key sustainability solutions such as shaded outdoor terraces, low water plantings, rainwater collection, and reduced heat island effect.
