If you liked the architecture of the building in my previous post, you will love today's.
It too is on Sde Boker campus of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
The Swiss Institute for Dryland Environmental and Energy Research was dedicated in May 2013.
At the ceremony Prof. Daniel Guggenheim, President of the Bona Terra Foundation, said
There is a parallel between Switzerland and Israel. Both had to face difficult land conditions. Both made a success of these existential conditions. Let us hope that other countries will be able to overcome their challenges through the Swiss Institute.
You can see a short video about it.
SIDEER's webpages are here.
Or you can read a pdf brochure about the exciting research going on there.
Wish them luck for good discoveries!
