Student Residence, Ben Gurion University

Apartments of different sizes are provided for different study phases. From large communal apartments for 12–18 students for the early orientation phase, via medium-sized flats for 6–8, to ones for 2–4 inhabitants for students nearing graduation and needing more privacy and quiet. From the outside, the body resembles a fortress and its symbolism alludes to the bastion of knowledge over and above its functionalist alignment to student needs.
