The Herta and Paul Amir Building is the western wing of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, designed by Preston Scott Cohen. It opened in November 2011. The article does not give the construction dates, address, materials or a style. Deconstructivism is an assumption based on its angular form.
The building has 18,500 square feet of gallery space over five floors. It holds an Israeli Architecture Archive and a new section for photography and visual arts. Pastel, a fine dining restaurant led by chef Hilel Tavakuli, is inside.
The museum around it holds modern and contemporary art. The Amir Building is the part of the museum that houses the architecture archive, which makes it a natural stop for anyone interested in how Israeli buildings are designed and recorded.
