The Design Museum was built in the middle of the industrial suburb of Holon five Kilometers south of Tel Aviv and was opened in 2010. The Architect Ron Arad was born in Tel Aviv and has now a design and architecture studio based in London. He created a structure of huge strips of weathered Corten steel in a colour palette from bright orange to rusty brown. The facade is reminiscent of a large spring spiral shape and is in a strong contrast with the surrounding monotonous apartment blocks. The design of the whole Museum uses the tension between an efficient arrangement of inner boxlike rooms and the dynamic outer shell with wave-like forms which are wrapped around the gallery space.
I liked the relation of the exterior and interior, the play of structural, spatial and visual experiences while walking around in the building.
