Cast architectural sculptures and textile works meet in “The Architect’s Dream,” an exhibition by architect Roi Zevulun and artist Maya Gratzfeld. It opens on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 7:30pm in the project room at Liebling Haus, 29 Idelson Street. Admission to the opening event is free.
The exhibition centers on Haifa’s Hadar HaCarmel neighborhood and its modernist buildings. Zevulun draws on his ongoing research project, “Portrait of Hadar HaCarmel,” which examines the buildings’ original appearance before alterations made over time and by residents.
From that research, Zevulun has created “architectons,” cast sculptures of imagined structures. Gratzfeld translates her observations of the city into textiles, fabrics and curtains. Together, the two approaches explore the relationship between planned buildings and the city as it changes in everyday use.
Gratzfeld is a multidisciplinary artist and lecturer who studied at the Dresden University of Fine Arts and works in photography, textiles and installation. Zevulun is an architect and researcher, a Bezalel graduate and a partner at Granovsky & Zevulun Architects. The exhibition is curated by Sabrina Tsagela.
