Ron Arad architects: Design Museum Holon Inauguration

on january 31st, 2010 following four years of construction, the Design Museum Holon by Ron Arad Architects, will be inaugurated.

The Design Museum Holon is Arad’s first architecture project of this scale.  Constructed of five sinuous bands of varying shades of COR-TEN(weathered steel), the overall mission of the institution is to explore the impact of design and its relation to urban spaces and everyday life. The new museum will join Holon’s mediatheque, a cultural centre which includes the National Cartoon Museum, repertoire theatre with original productions, cinematheque, material and public library.

‘Holon is a city which is re-inventing itself culturally, with ambitious plans that are investing a lot into culture. the concept of this museum in the middle eastern sun is just one instance.  The city was brave enough to give Ron Arad architects the design task and I hope that it is received well by the municipality and the public.’ Ron Arad
