"The Jerusalem Archives Project', funded by the Jerusalem Development Authority and led by Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem, is an extensive project of heritage documentation and digitization which aims to locate, digitize and make accessible official and private collections. The main objective of the project is to provide access to historic collections of Jerusalem planning and architecture for improving sustainable development and conservation practice and for enhancing heritage research and democratization.

The objective of this Conference is to review the challenges and new opportunities of contemporary architecture. These are a result of advances in design and new building technologies, as well as the development of new materials.

Many of the changes are motivated by a drive towards eco-architecture, trying to harmonise architectural products with nature. Another important issue is the adaptation of the architectural design to the natural environment, learning from nature and traditional construction techniques.
