Midreshet Sde Boker – Boarding School and Junior Staff Residence Planning Concept

A place that is like home, where students live and learn for extended periods of time and to which they return after field or class activities, must cater to various needs – sometimes even conflicting needs: Open and closed – a place which provides an open and shared environment, while maintaining an individual and intimate space. Constructed and protective – the challenge of creating an area that controls shade and temperature, while being a warm inviting environment, decorated with local plants and trees. Busy and quiet – Creating spaces for social interaction, while also providing quiet places for low-key activity. “Togetherness” and “Separateness” – Creating spaces for discussions and lectures, alongside areas for individual learning – all in the same area.
