Nahum Zolotov

The building, built in the brutalist style, is reminiscent of a bunker or military station and overlooks the original site of the Kibbutz.

The building, with its different components, tries to evoke in the visitors the feelings of the combat soldier in war over his home, as well as a sense of loss for those who fell.

After one year of service in the police force of the Hebrew settlements (during which he did guard duty in the fields of the Kibbutz Ein HaShofet), he began his studies in architecture at the Technion in Haifa.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Zolotov became one of the leading and most successful architects of the brutalist style, in Israel, and he was a pioneer of advanced thinking about city planning in Tel Aviv.

Additionally he suggested a station for public transportation in Tel Aviv (on the site of Beit Hadar and the parking lot connected to it).
