The new building is constructed in a densely-built quarter. The project includes a hall to be used for music, folk-dance performances, theater, films and lectures. The hall is supported by a large foyer with auxiliary space and restaurant. Keywords: Israel, West Bank, Bethlehem, Palestine, theaters, performing arts structures, commercial structures, views.
