This Shimon Haber project has evolved over more than a decade, with each new building added in a way that expressed its particular meaning. As a result of this, there are no overriding building design, and various materials can be found put one next to another. With all of this Shimon Haber provided a unique character to the project. This project represents a sort of academic critique view where different types of authors, journalists, and movie critics are able to share their ideas. The final character of this project is set by the density of buildings, their scale, what types of material were used and others.

The purpose Shimon Haber had on mind when designing this project was to bring together diverse people and their ideas in one place. The environment is expected to create a potential for intellectual and social exchange. A brief video presentation of this project can be found uploaded on YouTube on Shimon Haber’s personal channel. The character and quality of the design is defined by both its layout and surrounding area. It also offers potential for unifying and equalizing the shared space. Shimon Haber’s idea of promoting the sense of community is derived from actively shared space, thus providing experiences of both planned and chance encounter.
