A contract is set to be signed in October with New York City-based architect Rafi Segal and collaborators, who were selected in a global competition to design the new $70-million National Library of Israel, located in Jerusalem.
Segal, born and educated in Israel and also licensed there, was chosen on Sept. 12 for the replacement structure, along with two Israeli architects and participants from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Segal is a former instructor there.
