That is all for this hot summer, Rachel: ruchi@netvision.net.il competitions, prizes & honorings Asaf Lerman won (again) the competition, and this time for planning the Northern Campus Convention Center at Ben Gurion University. Asaf says that his proposal was inspired by simplicity and wisdom inherent in the Bedouin tent, which offers shaded spaces for living, sleeping and hospitality. And accordingly, the large mantle that delimits the center will allow for various activities depending on the changing requirements." About 85 offices participated in the competition. Keep on going, Asaf. A conceptual competition for planning the Emotion Museum was declared by the Bee Breeders Association. The aim is to create a venue which provokes emotional reactions, such as fear, anger, anxiety, love, happiness or laughter, through the spaces' scale, colors, lighting and atmosphere as well as materials.

Of the many eulogists who expressed astonishment at his sudden passing, we chose to publish a post by one of his students - designer Keren Oren. And this is what she wrote: "Somewhere in 2002 - 20 years ago, Baruch believed in me. I sat in front of him in an admission interview...the second after a tiring day of tests and an interview with a panel of respected lecturers, each scarier than the other. Look, he said to me, you have made a good impression on us, but your psychometric grade is as low as the Dead Sea. Some say that this is a way to predict the student's success in school, what do you say about it? With all due respect to the psychometric exam, I answered, psychometric exams are meant to evaluate the student ability to pass the psychometric exam... while I really want to study architecture. Baruch smiled at me and said, don't worry, you are accepted. Baruch was a Professor and Architect, and before his surname someone added another "Baruch" to his name, yet in WIZO we called lecturers by their first name. Baruch was a very tall man with a white mane of hair, always wore black, always smiled. His door was always open as well as the big window toward the hallway and no one missed the message. He was excited about making architecture, talking about architecture and most of all - teaching architecture. 20 years ago he opened a door for me to the most amazing investigation of how the relationship between walls affects the relationship between people. In the end, they were right about the psychometric test - I never finished the school, but the important lesson about the relationships between walls and people I learned from him, and I have been engaged in it every day for 20 years. Thank you Baruch for the trust and patience. Rest in peace". The very communicative architect, Orna Angel, has been elected chairperson of the Association of Architects. Not an easy job at all, but if she succeeds in improving the very low status of architects vis-a-vis Municipal Clerckism she will have done her part in this harsh world. Good luck Orna. Architect, Moshe Safdie donated his professional archive to the University of McGill in Montreal, where he studied and taught. The rich collection contains more than 100,000 sketches, drawings, models, photographs and texts, including the Habitat project in Montreal, which was built as part of Expo 67, placing him amongst the leading architects of the Modernist Architecture. Artist Orna Ben-Ami continues to surprise with her fascinating works made of a unique combination between 2D design and 3D volumes. Her new work presented here was dedicated to her mother - a dressmaker sitting in front of a sewing machine. Exhibitions "Melissa Project" - a solo exhibition by artist Eden Orbach Ofrat, presented on huge screens in Times Square and the Zaz10s Gallery, New York.
