Sack and Reicher + Muller with Eyal Zur is a partnership of three interdisciplinary studios:
The research and design studio Sack and Reicher explores the potential to form new relationships between people, based on their engagement with specific sites and their surroundings. Sack and Reicher’s activities range from temporary interactive installations to public policies and analysis; from buildings and open spaces to regional urbanism and infrastructure. Current projects include the public space design for the new Jerusalem Performance Arts Campus, a tourist centre in the Jerusalem mountains, landscape masterplanning in Beer Sheva, and the renovation of Malchia quarry.
The practice works according to the belief that architecture has a social role and so regularly initiates communal projects and research, such as the first swimming centre for the Negev Bedouins. The studio's techniques are structural, spatial, ecological; the approach is always political, historical, mythical.
Matanya Sack is an architect and landscape architect. She teaches thesis studios in architecture and landscape, and in 2014 founded LandBasics – the final thesis program at the Department of Landscape Architecture at the Technion, Israel institute of Technology, in Haifa. The thesis studio is dedicated to addressing fundamental political and ecological issues in the Israeli landscape space.
Uri Reicher is an architect. Before co-founding Sack and Reicher, he was an Associate at Foster + Partners in London, leading design teams on large scale public projects in Europe and Asia.
