Smolarz Auditorium, Auditorium at Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel
The Smolarz Auditorium is a large venue on the Tel Aviv University campus designed with curved walls made from triangular aluminum panels and elliptical columns. The building contains a glass foyer that creates a bright, modern entrance space for the facility.
The auditorium was built in the early 21st century with donations from Adolfo and Miriam Smolarz and from the Cuki and Sergio Grosskopf families. Israeli architect Avraham Yaski designed the building, whose outer shell is made of aluminium alloy. Besides hosting university events, it is rented out for business and public events with no university connection.
The auditorium is named after Adolfo and Miriam Smolarz, whose donation, together with funds from the Cukier and Sergio Grosskopf families, paid for its construction. Besides university events and conferences, it is rented out for business and public events with no connection to the university.
The auditorium is easily reached from the main university entrance and equipped with modern audio and presentation technology. Access may vary depending on scheduled events, so planning ahead helps.
The building's design bridges two distinct grid patterns of the campus, serving as an architectural transition zone between different campus areas. The contrast between cold aluminum on the outside and warm wood on the inside creates different sensations as people move through the spaces.
