Spectacular roads descend to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on
earth, from Jerusalem and Arad. The Ministry of Tourism wanted
to express this fact. We suggested a series of "contour lines"
along the highways to mark changes in elevation.
Level walls of local stone with a single horizontal strip of
blue ceramic tiles mark each 100 meter contour. Clear aluminum
numbers give the level, easily seen from the highway in a
fast moving car.
