Generic Building 2

Our office was invited by the Shikun & Binui group to participate in the DBOT competition for the

designing of a Generic Building 2 for government offices in the government domain, Jerusalem.

The declared aim of this competition was to prioritize the quality of an architectural building. On this

merit, our office’s proposal was chosen as the best design, and we were subsequently declared the

winner of the competition together with the Shikun & Binui group after the financial proposal had

been weighed in. The Generic 2 plan of the building – as it is so labeled – is based on a modular

system of closed rooms serving the 1800 employees of various government offices and

minister’s chambers. Furthermore, optimal penetration of daylight and ventilation is afforded into each

room, thanks to the planning standards of green buildings. The gardened public space created for the

employees on the terraced ground floor and roof offers a qualitative and pleasant working environment

while connecting with Generic Building 1 to form a new campus within the government domain.

The underground area provides both a car park for the employees and a protective shelter for

operational continuity in the event of emergency situations.
