    Inside the Mission to Perform Bone-Marrow Transplants on Survivors of the Chernobyl Disaster
    Time

    On May 2, 1986, while visiting my long-term colleague and friend Richard O’Reilly, the head of bone marrow transplantation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, I received a strange phone call. It was from Richard Champlin, who worked at the Bone Marrow Transplant Center at UCLA. He tended to speak very fast, so it took me some time to understand from his over-excited voice that he was about to leave the next day for Moscow.

    Renovating a Preserved Building: How HQ Architects Rose to the Challenge
    World Interiors News

    The 2,000m² building is the largest performance hall on the Weizmann Institute campus  and the existing auditorium is a prime example of Modernism, designed more than 50 years ago by Israeli architects Arieh Sharon and Benjamin Idelson.
    HQ Architects undertook the renovation and extension of the building where its facades and contour of the building cannot be modified due to preservation rules. However, the ambition for the new Michael Sela Auditorium was to double the area of the existing lobby, and add a new social space suitable to accommodate different activities that go beyond the standard use of foyer as a waiting space. The concept is based on the observation that the exchange of opinions and ideas occurs very often around an event and not always during the event. With this in mind, HQ Architects designed a foyer that resembles a living room, an informal and inviting gathering space.
