Bar Ilan University Master Plan
Part of Moshe Safdie
The new Bar Ilan University master plan that Moshe Safdie designed was for the School of Economics and the Student Dormitories. It was planned as an urban system composed of open quadrangles defined by buildings and urban thorough fares which branched out to secondary roads and other squares. The School of Economics is an 8-storey multi-purpose building that is terraced, providing shade for the main campus walkway by its overhangs. The Student Dormitories, accommodating about 200 students, consist of a 2-storey living area around which the bedrooms are clustered. Overall, the dorms reach 6 storeys in height, stacking three terraced apartment units together, with the public spaces facing the academic quadrangle and the private spaces facing the south.

Part of Moshe Safdie
Caesarea Heights was an urban planning proposal for a site in Caesarea, a city positioned between Tel Aviv and Haifa. The proposed development consisted of 1,700 housing units overlooking the Caesarea Golf Course and the sea, including a variety of housing types constructed at different densities, designed to accommodate a broad range of family sizes and needs.
Clusters and individual units were designed to be particularly sensitive to orientation, and attempted to maximize views for all residents. Green spaces were integrated to separate major roads from residences, and to also provide a degree of privacy between clusters of housing. In general, the concept of "small communities" or clusters was emphasized, which is in keeping with the character of the Israeli lifestyle.

Caesarea Heights World Monument
Part of Moshe Safdie
The Caesarea World Monument involved building a World Study Center with the development of a master plan to restore and reconstruct the ancient city of Caesarea Maritima on the Sea. The entire project was divided into six phases, and Safdie's involvement was limited to the first two phases: the restoration of the Cardo Maximus, a 0.4 km pedestrian walkway extending from the amphitheatre to the moat of the Crusader Fortress; and the construction of the World Study Center Building, providing facilities for archaeological research and study, as well as for preservation and display of excavated material.
