The Henry Urbach Summer Installation Project promotes the creation of local microclimate in the hot-arid climate of Jerusalem, by designing and building a temporary entrance pavilion to the Architecture Department at Bezalel. The installation is carried out within the special Designbuild studio: 'The Architect-Maker' , which is focuses on the process of making and experimenting with materials as the driving force of architectural design. The course allows a "hands-on" engagement with materials and the realization of full-scale prototype structures. This enables students to explore and experience unique spatial ideas, climatic responses, innovative fabrication techniques, material performance as well as develop novel design processes.
