If architecture is a language
a building is a story
Eliezer Armon
Architect Eli Armon has served as chief city engineer for the Emanuel Regional Council and for the City of Beer Sheva. Since 1993, he has been at the helm of Armon Architects and Town Planners, Ltd., which incorporates the full range of architectural planning, starting with furniture design, to interior design, to structure planning, up to and encompassing urban planning.
His multidisciplinary personality transcends conventional professional perceptions, viewing architectural planning as the incarnation of ideas, existential insights and life cycles that materialize as one seamless, multifaceted creation.
His work is the craft of the inquisitive researcher, deriving from Jewish holy and literary sources, the Hebrew language, Jewish tradition, Kabbalah, the Land of Israel and its landscapes, world cultures, and the universality of the martial arts with all their meaning.
His works are fueled by endless propelling toward the root and origin of the creation. His perspective is interwoven with the cognitive correlation between military leadership and architecture. The saying “architect of victory” is not just by chance.
Armon Architects and Town Planners operates on a wide national spread, simultaneously planning and managing dozens of projects from Ma’alot-Tarshiha in the north to Eilat in the south.
Armon, born in Tel Aviv, pupil of Ken Borochov Working and Studying Youth Movement, Practical Electronics Engineer, graduate of ORT Yad Singalovski Vocational School, Lieutenant Colonel (reserves), graduate of the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, holding a 7th Dan Belt of the Dennis Survival jiu-jitsu method.
Established in 1993, owned and operated by Eliezer Armon.
Books on Architecture written by Architect Eliezer Armon
“In this unique building, created by Architect Eli Armon, in the form of an altar, with the representation of flames enveloping the prayer hall, a new idea has been created as well as a special place. This newly created dwelling expresses not only the remarkable connection point between heaven and earth, but more than this: It generates an extraordinary connection to Israeli heritage, between the past and the future, from Abraham the Hebrew to Moses, to the Israeli youth entering the school for officers, to the burdensome legacy of the calling.”
From Major General Gershon Hacohen’s introduction in the book “The Burning Bush – The Synagogue of IDF Training Camp 1,” which describes the planning and erecting process of the synagogue at the IDF school for officers. The book will be published in 2021.
In his work, Architect Eliezer Armon fuses the spiritual and the material, creating spectacular buildings founded on principles of both function and significance. In the past, Armon worked as an architect in varying offices, and also served as chief city engineer for the Emanuel Regional Council and for the city of Beer Sheva. In addition, Armon served as chair of the Publicity Committee of the Israel Organization of Consulting Engineers and Architects IOCEA. He is also the owner of Armon Architects Offices. Armon has planned public buildings of importance in Israel such as train stations, cultural and sports centers, educational, cultural and recreational buildings, gas stations, community centers, synagogues and office towers, many of which he presents in his book, If Architecture is a Language, then a Building is a Story. The book is a pictorial sequence of especially impressive projects juxtaposed with detailed programs and illustrations, photographed by the artistic photographer Uriel Messa.
