Heading up the design of the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel is the architectural firm of Moshe Safdie and Associates. The Israeli born Safdie is a world-famous architect, whose firm is engaged in activities ranging from the design of public institutions - including museums, performing arts centers, and university campuses - to the design of airports, housing, mixed-use complexes, and new communities. With offices in Jerusalem, Somerville, Massachusetts, Montreal and Toronto, Safdie and Associates has worked on projects ranging from the design of Habitat '67 in Montreal to the master planning of entire new cities around the world.
Among the firm's current commissions are: the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA; the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA; the Performing Arts Center in Orlando, FL; the National Sikh Museum in the Punjab in India; the permanent home for the U.S. Institute of Peace, Washington DC; the new building for the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, GA; and the Yitzhak Rabin Center for Israel Studies in Tel Aviv. Exploration Place, a science center and children's museum, opened to much acclaim in Wichita, KS, in April 2000, and the Salt Lake City Public Library was opened in February 2003.
