Stripes of paving, plants and lighting form the entrance to Ben- Gurion University campus in Be’er Sheba, Israel, designed by Israeli firm Chyutin Architects.
The landscaped garden sits in a sunken plaza with a long lawn area on one side.
Rectangular concrete plinths coming up from the ground serve as benches.
The square serves an an entrance area for the university and also for an art gallery, which is planned for the site.

Here’s some more information from the architects:
BGU University Entrance Square & Art Gallery
The Deichmann square and the Negev Gallery constitute a link between Ben-Gurion University campus and the city of Be’er Sheva. The square serves as an entrance gate to the western side of the campus, surrounded by existing buildings and the future Negev Gallery. The square offers an outdoor space for cultural and social activities for students and for the city population.
The square is bordered by the elongated structure of the gallery facing both the city and the campus. Towards the city, the gallery’s continuous façade (160 meter in length) unifies the heterogeneous appearance of the existing buildings behind the gallery into a cohesive urban unit. The city façade is accompanied by a sculpture garden creating a green edge to the campus. The two story high monolithic body of exposed concrete emerges from lawny topography of the northern part of the campus and hovers above an entrance courtyard in the southern part, where it appears to be leaping towards the urban space.
The gallery hosts exhibition spaces, museology faculty, workshops and auditorium contributing to the outdoor activities on Deichmann Square. Since the square was designated to accommodate intensive congregation of youth and students, the preferred solution was to allocate limited areas for vegetation. The design of the square with various elements of exposed concrete connects the surrounding buildings both physically and visually, accentuating their common features.

The square appears as a carpet of integrated strips of concrete paving, vegetation and lighting with concrete benches and trees scattered randomly. The strips of vegetation consist of lawn, Equisetopsida and seasonal plants. The first phase to be realized was the Deichmann square to be followed by the Negev Gallery.

 | Emphasizing sassy sculptural silhouettes, the German-born designer behind Gretchen, Anne-Christin Hofmann, creates geometrically-shaped bags in luscious leathers that are loaded with carefully thought-out details. Her knack for ace accessories is probably due to her somewhat ‘unfair’ advantage – she grew up in the warm, leathery embrace of her family’s leather-goods store, Otto Kessler, playing hide-and-seek with her brother in between the piles of skins and shelves filled with finished accessories. And as a teen with a talent for sketching and a growing interest in design, her nappa leather & ponyskin glove quickly became one of Otto Kessler’s runaway best-sellers of the year.

After two years of constant talk about James Franco-turned-artist, from his solo art show, that odd profile in New York, to his putting his own artsy mark on General Hospital, Three’s Company, and a copy of a piece by Bruce Nauman, we’d grown a little weary of having to hear about his side career. However, we still appreciate that a celebrity of his stature has the potential to bring modern art and all the confusion that comes with it, to we great unwashed. And we’re willing to forgive all that media saturation if Franco does indeed follow through with a statement he made to the tabloid program The Insider about his upcoming appearance on the Golden Globes:
The 127 Hours star James Franco revealed something about his Golden Globes day, saying, “I have a little art project that I’ll be doing during the day that I can’t quite talk about but you’ll hear about.” Franco may be referring to an art music group performance by Kalup and Franco.
That Kalup, of course, is the artist Kalup Linzy, with whom Franco started a band/art project with (their slogan: “Where dreams, art, music, films, soap operas, real life, and performance art collide.”) The two have reportedly been collaborating over the past year and though, like with many things the actor-turned-artist does, we’re not sure where the “Art” with a capital A comes in (here’s them performing “Proud Mary” last May), we love the idea that they’ll do something utterly bewildering at an event as blandly tame as the Golden Globes. If so, we’ll be fans for life.

This tomb for a family on the mountainside in Arganil, Portugal, is by Portuguese architect Pedro Dias.
The pre-fabricated tomb is clad in softened black granite and finished on the inside with stainless-steel panels.
The rectangular volume frames the surrounding landscape, while a plinth inside supports coffins during ceremonies and provides seating for contemplation at other times.
A cruciform aperture is cut into the roof.
Photographs are by Pedro Dias.
The following information is from the architect:
Family Tomb in the Açor Mountains, Portugal
“a tomb is a prison, but also a “monumentum”; that is, an object which keeps the “memory” or the recollection of an absent person alive… and only monuments are architecture… all other buildings are simple constructions for ephemeral beings, technical or artisanal products, not works calling on technique: authentic creations, visionary and inspired…”
Adolf Loos
Concept: Sepulchral Void
The concept behind this small, rather unusual but challenging project was the creation of a simple, restrained and minimalistic architectural object that, apart from containing the basic program presented by the client (capacity for 8 coffins), playing in a dignified way its role as a “tribute to the memory ” and integrating itself in the cemetery, would interact directly with the impressive surrounding mountain landscape (without blocking its view), by literally framing it, in order to use the moment of its quiet contemplation as a “transmission vehicle” for transcendental communication between the “living” and “missing” ones.
In the approach to this concept two specific moments of the tomb use where taking into account… During the funeral ceremony, how would this ritual take place and how would a coffin be handled, in other words, how would the “farewell” take place?… And during a sporadic visit of a family member or a friend to the site, how to create the ideal conditions for a comfortable spiritual recollection?
The result was the design in the interior of the tomb of an open space, accessible to all, equipped with a bench, which serves both as such as well as a surface for placing the coffin during the mentioned funeral ritual.
Ultimately, the creation of a contemplative “spatial void”, which fulfills the “emotional void” caused by a feeling of loss that can be briefly translated into this abstract concept of “Sepulchral Void”…
Architectonically speaking, the tomb is a simple volume that appears to levitate quietly over the ground, clladed on the outside by slices of softened black granite stone and on the inside, on all surfaces, by hairline finishing stainless steel panels, in clear contrast and material dichotomy between the “shell” and its “content”.
Inside, details like a cross cutted on the ceiling and a flower deposit integrated on the bench reinforce the obvious symbolic meaning of this object.
Constructive Process
The idea behind the construction of this tomb consisted on the full assembling of its pre-fab metal structure in a factory, formed by steel profiles, tubes and rods (as well as all its stainless steel surfaces), in order to assure right from the start a greater precision in its execution.

Subsequently, this structure was put into a truck, transported from the factory to the cemetery, and then placed on site by a crane (on a concrete plinth built in-situ).

Finally, concrete was poured over this structure (slabs and side walls) and the stone cladding was done.
