Wohl Centre, Ramat-Gan, Israel

The Wohl Centre serves as a convention center for Bar-Ilan University in Ramat-Gan, Israel. It was built between 2001 and 2005 and covers about 42,000 square feet (3,900 square meters).

Apparent in the form of the building, is the interrelation between the dynamics of knowledge, the Book, and the unifying role of faith, the Spine. The ILS43 million ($7.2 million) it cost to construct the center came in part from British philanthropist Maurice Wohl.

Architect : Daniel Libeskind

Tzameret Towers, Tel Aviv, Israel

The Tzameret Towers, also known as Akirov Towers, are three 34-story skyscrapers in Tel Aviv, Israel. The first two were completed in 2003, with the third one completed in 2006. Tower 3 was originally planned to be a 140-meter tower containing 140 apartments, although this was scaled down and it was finished to a height almost identical to that of the other towers. The final design contained 120 apartments. This tower topped out in August 2004. The top three floors of Tower 2 contain one of Israel's most expensive apartments, purchased for $10 million, a record-breaking purchase at the time. The total complex contains 360 apartments.
