| "Based on semiotics, Dotan’s approach focuses on the
building content and technology needed to realize it in a given
space . . . reflecting the delicate balance between man, place
and technology. In 1998 he was honored with a special
award by the Architects’ Association."
"Upon recently winning the Israel Contractors & Builders
Union award for the planning of the Amargad building in Petah
Tikva, Dotan commented, The planning process is built on
curiosity and the search for the hidden truth of each project."
"In 1975 architect Haim Dotan left for an overseas trip, from
which he returned only sixteen years later. During his “trip” he
completed his architecture studies at the University of Southern
California, worked in an architectural firm in Santa Monica,
completed his M.A. and gained “Japanese” experience in the
office of architect Kisho Kurokowa."
"While still overseas, he and architect Shimon Filzer won the
1990 competition for the planning of the Technion Faculty of
Architecture. His victory in the competition earned him
his “diploma” in the ways of Israeli architecture."
"As one who has studied and worked in California, Tokyo,
Sydney, and New York, Dotan uses his background to realize his
own identity within the Mediterranean context." |
