这是由以色列自然保护协会委任设计的一个鸟类观察站游客中心，设计师试图以此设计检测城市自然的概念，设计师从1998年就开始与客户合作，通过一系列绿色建筑的设计，设计师逐渐认识到如何把握一个建筑与它的自然主体之间的微妙关系。对此项目设计师主要围绕设施的教育任务展开，同时将这个建造形式定义为生态基础设施。设计师试图将自己扮演为城市自然的协调者而不是这个结构的设计者。

When the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel asked us to propose an addition to the Jerusalem Bird Observatory， we saw it as an opportunity to test the concept of urban nature “by design.” Having collaborated with the client since the first phase in 1998， and through subsequent work on projects of the type that has been dubbed “Green Architecture，” we were curious about the extent to which a building could blur boundaries between urban “civilization” and its natural host. Was there not an inherent hostility between a building intervention and its environment? Our approach to this dilemma was shaped by the educational mission of the Jerusalem Bird Observatory， which identifies the function of urban built form as ecological infrastructure. We thus tried to conceive of our role as facilitators of urban nature， rather than as its designers.
