Some renderings of the winning design for the National Library in Israel by Rafi Segal. Of course, Segal did not produce these renderings--just as Joss Wheedon did not perform any of the stunts in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All architecture is collaborative, derivative, and plastic. I worked with a thesis student who designed a building that similar topographical detailing as this one. I don't know enough about this design to provide a long-winded critique, but the courtyards remind me of the BPL. Maybe Charles McKim should exhume himself and sue Segal.
