המקום

Beit Shulamit will be located to the east of the main road of the Medical Center’s campus, on the wide green grounds of the adjacent Hamore Mountain, with an open view to the surrounding green valley.The new three-story building will be constructed on top of two covered parking levels on a new and generous lot. The top three floors of the Center will face south in order to create a terraced structure that matches the topography of the site. The terraced structure affords a view of the landscape and the natural environment from all locations in the building and offers a wide-range of indoor and outdoor spaces with natural light and reflections.The architectural language of the new building uses a system of shadings to emphasize the interrelationship between light and shadow and between private and public spaces, thereby blurring the traditional boundaries of construction.This planning allows optimization of the environmental efficiency of the outer shell of the building, as well as an opportunity to enjoy the extensive planting of trees and plants, which will be an integral part of the project.

Net area: 11,000 square meters.

The joy and the rewards of planning a hospital are immense. The clearly defined objectives - the well-being of patients and, naturally, of the staff - do not lead you to compromise of architectural and visual values. Quite the contrary - they even enhance them.In recommending the name “Beit Shulamit”, I was looking to making the hospital hopeful, inviting, less deterring for patients and their families. In planning the building, I wanted to bring to life the warmth, charisma and personality of the late Dr. Shulamit Katzman, whom I had the honor of knowing personally.

Ron Arad, founder of Ron Arad Architects

Ron Arad / Head Architect

Ron Arad (born on April 24, 1951), is a world-renowned Israeli industrial designer, operating mainly from London. While also an architect, Arad is mainly known for his design of furniture and products. Ron Arad is considered as one of the most prominent post-modern designers.

Arad was born and raised in Tel Aviv, the youngest child of painter Esther Peretz-Arad and sculptor Grisha Arad, and brother of violist and composer Atar Arad. He attended Bezalel from 1971 to 1973 and immediately thereafter studied architecture in London (until 1979). Ron Arad co-founded with Caroline Thorman the design and production studio One Off in 1981 and later, in 1989, Ron Arad Associates architecture and design practice. In 2008 Ron Arad Architects was established alongside Ron Arad Associates.  From 1994 to 1999 he established the Ron Arad Studio, design and production unit in Como, Italy. In the same year, he assisted in the opening of the Bauhaus Museum at Bialilk House in Tel Aviv. In May 2010, Ron Arad was granted an honorary doctorate by the Tel Aviv University. In August of the same year, he served as judge in the Sukkah City architectural competition in New York. In September 2011, he was awarded the London Design Medal, which is awarded to designers who have made an outstanding contribution to London. The products of Arad are characterized by twisted metals and amorphic shapes of a raw and often humoristic look. His works are sold in high-scale shops around the world and are presented at prominent exhibitions and museums: Pompidou Center in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Albert and Victoria Museum in London.

In 2002, he was awarded honorary membership of the Royal Academy of Arts in the United Kingdom.
