Mount of olives - looking out at Temple Mount.
8th level entrance to BYU.
Everywhere you walk you are able to see the old city, this is how David Resnick brought the City into BYU!!!!
Large Organ, sounds great throught the entire floor, muy peaceful!
Dorms are actually great, they have 4 beds, privacy and fantastic bathroom and a great view of the Old City from their balcony.Brigham Young University located in Jerusalem, Israel was designed by David Resnick. Which we had the honor to meet a few weeks back before we visited the area. David mentioned how pleased he was and still is of the Univeristy. When he sat with us he walked us through the entire university, about the 18meter modules that the entire school is based on, and the every arch is the exact same size, there are over 120 arches throughout the entire building. David also mentioned that the school was like music to him. The materials are quiet basic: Jeruslame stone of course, wood (Maple and Cherry [?]). Once we had the chance to walk through the space and was luckuly able to walk into one of the dorms you can really see what David has spoken about - he mentioned that the idea was to Bring Jerusalem into the building - and that he did!!! BYU is a facinating building, the proportions are great, the spaces are very intimate, you are able to see the Old City from everywhere in the building. We also got a chance to sit in the auditorium and hear the grand organ being played - that is very nice speacially when you can hear it when entering the building, very beautiful and peaceful.
