§ Design note
- 01Arrival & Wayfinding. Light shapes the main lobby and entrances so large audiences can arrive, orient, and find their way into the arena clearly and calmly.
- 02Public Concourse Identity. The concourses and corridors read as generous, welcoming public rooms, giving Jerusalem's largest indoor venue a clear interior identity beyond the event bowl.
- 03Crowd Movement. Even, comfortable light supports the safe flow of large crowds through the corridors and lobbies before, during, and after events.
