Location: Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway           Client: Department of Public Works           Completed: 1995           Team: Shlomo Aronson,Yair Avigdor,           Anat Sade.

The natural gateway to Jerusalem lies halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. An interchange was needed here, but the proposed interchange would have blocked the view of the historic pass through the hills. We sank the interchange beneath the existing highway, and a series of stone terraces beginning at the base of the underpass integrate the new intersection into the existing landscape. The interchange is planted with more than a thousand mature olive trees.
