Alfred Mansfeld was an Israeli architect best known for designing—in collaboration with interior designer Dora Gad—the Israel Museum, for which he was awarded the Israel Prize in architecture in 1966. Mansfeld was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and grew up in Germany, training as an architect in Berlin and Paris before immigrating to Haifa in 1935. He designed many residential and public buildings, including the Institute for Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the Hydraulic Institute at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, where he taught architecture. Mansfeld kept an extensive archive of his preparatory work, including sketches, plans, and maquettes; these are currently housed at the Tel Aviv Museum.
