Studio Fuksas has revealed visuals of the International Congress Center Jerusalem, which will form the heart of a mixed-use complex in Giv'at Ram, Israel.
Led by Dezeen Awards judge Doriana Fuksas and her partner Massimiliano Fuksas, the building in Jerusalem will be the "largest conference centre in the middle east" when it completes.
The International Congress Center Jerusalem (ICC Jerusalem) will form the centrepiece of a 270,000-square-metre scheme designed by Studio Fuksas, which will be built within the city's new central business district.

"The ICC Jerusalem is located in the City Gateway, a district characterised by the presence of financial, commercial, cultural, tourist and entertainment activities, destined to become the new gateway to the city of Jerusalem," the architecture studio explained. "The new ICC Jerusalem of Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas will make the area one of the most important public and cultural areas of Jerusalem."
ICC Jerusalem will be built around the Ussishkin Hall Building, an existing concert hall and convention centre in the city. The Ussishkin Hall Building will also be redesigned by Studio Fuksas as part of the scheme.

ICC Jerusalem will be characterised by slender columns topped by a giant glass facade, which will frame criss-crossing staircases and elevated walkways inside. The rest of the building will be wrapped in a local stone, which the architecture studio hope will help it integrate perfectly...
