Kimmel Eshkolot Architects

Carved into the rocky topography of Mount Herzl—the site of Israel’s national cemetery—a subterranean memorial designed by Tel Aviv–based firm Kimmel Eshkolot commemorates the lives of lost soldiers. Above ground, a stepped stone mound surrounds a central aperture that funnels daylight into the main space, echoing the curves of the landscape. Inside, a spiral ramp leads visitors down along a wall composed of 23,000 bricks, each engraved with a name of the fallen.
