“Three melodies, a single echo”
Interfaith Center




Year: 2013
Location: Jerusalen (Israel)
Subject: Architectonic projects
Area: 1500 m²
Program: Religious
Result: 9
As a fourth year exercise we were propose to develop an Interfaith Center in Jerusalem, that looks for the generation peace area, reflection and fraternization between the three most important religions.
The project is based in the art of music as an element of connection between the three cultures, with this premises the concept is generated. How can Jerusalem send three different melodies, each one of them made by one of the cultures and from the interfaith centre located on the Mount of olives, returns a single unifying echo of that music created together by three cultures.
The project is still working on the existing urban fabric and extending it towards the area of olive groves, overlooking the city of Jerusalem and catching everyone´s eye.
The architecture is adapted to the prominent existing unevenness through different floors in different levels of dimension.
