米德拉士(Beit Midrash)是一所宗教神学院，是犹太人研究的精神中心。传统的托拉（犹太教经文）研究是通过一天中许多小时的阅读来完成的，因此需要为学生提供一个光线充足和舒适的空间。由于神学院的整个结构都在地下，因此引入自然光和照亮空间是这个项目的主要挑战和重点。
The Beit Midrash, a religious seminary, is a spiritual center for Jewish studies. The traditional study of the Torah (religious Jewish scriptures)is done by many hours of reading throughout the day resulting in the need for a well-lit and pleasant space for the students. Since the entire structure of the seminary is underground, bringing in natural light and illuminating the space was the main challenge and focus of this project.
这是用下沉式天井和高窗来完成的，使光线最大限度地通过结构的侧翼进入。从地板到天花板的木制书架环绕着中央空间的内墙，似乎承受着天花板的重量，同时增强了研究的氛围。
This was done using sunken patios and high windows maximizing the entrance of light through the flanks of the structure. The floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves wrap around the interior walls of the central space, seemingly bearing the weight of the ceiling while enhancing the study atmosphere.
穿孔和折叠的金属隔板，将男人和女人分开（按照这类宗教机构的习惯），作为 “面纱 “在空间内创造了一个视觉上的断层，而没有将其封锁起来。
The perforated and folded metal partition, dividing men and women (as customary in these types of religious establishments) works as a “veil” creating a visual disconnect within the space without blocking it up.
神学院的主入口大门是项目中唯一的临街元素，因此，为了庆祝它在公共空间的存在，整个大门是由取自古代经文的三维文字构建而成。
The main entrance gate to the seminary is the only street-level element in the project, thus, to celebrate its presence in the public space, the entire gate is constructed out of three-dimensional words taken from the ancient scriptures.
