The city of Bat Yam is interested in this project that will restore and preserve the Bat Yam city hall building, and establish within the building a center dedicated to the heritage and archive of Israeli architecture. The center is intended to serve as a museum, archive and community center, and as a center for the study of the restoration and salvation of archival materials in this field. The Bat Yam city hall was designed by architects Alfred Neumann, Zvi Hecker and Eldar Sharon in 1960-1963, and is a striking and unique example of a specific morphological-experimental style in the history of Israeli architecture.
