Palmach Museum of History
Tel Aviv, Israel
1993-98 -
This museum, designed in collaboration with Rafi Segal, was constructed to honour the Palmach, an elite squadron of the Haganah, the underground paramilitary of the Jewish community in Palestine under British Mandate from 1921-48, credited with contributing to the foundation of Israel. Hecker and Segal’s structure is one of discordant angles and contrasting materials and textures. The interior, housing an exhibition space and 400-seat theatre, is equally complex. Viewed from outside, the overall form of the building rises upwards and outwards from the core, a subtle nod perhaps to the endeavours of the museum’s honourees and a design described by Hecker as “a landscape of the dreams that have made Israel a reality.” p (gk)
