Segal Beats Chipperfield In Jerusalem

摘要

New York-based Rafi Segal has been appointed to design the new National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. Segal was one of four Israeli architects, along with Daniel Assayag, Gil Even-Tsur and David Zarhy, selected from 81 anonymous entries in an open competition to make it past the first hurdle. These four then joined eight already longlisted international and Israeli architects, including Japan's Shigeru Ban, Moshe Safdie, David Chipperfield and Jerusalem-based Carlos Prus.
