Some background:
The building was built in 1967 and until recently served as a guest house for the academic staff at the university. It is built in a different style from the rest of the Givat Ram buildings - in contrast to international-style buildings with straight vertical walls, this building is a structure consisting of two circular buildings connected. The building is named after Donna Fabiola Queen of Belgium.
In 2021 the building was thoroughly renovated by Lightricks, an image and video processing company that emphasizes design. The new interior design of the building matches the aesthetics of the company.
Three thoughts that led me to design the garment:

1. The structure is complicated to navigate. The transition between the floors is gradual and simulates a spiral. Wandering there has a feeling of a maze.

2. The name of the building dedicated to the Queen of Belgium gives the building a royal spark. Yet the very thought of naming the building after a foreign queen who has never been in it and designing its facade as a fortress gives the whole building a naive and nostalgic spirit.

3. The aesthetics of Lightricks- Lightricks strives to create dreams with their products and make our everyday reality more aesthetic. The colors chosen for the interior design of the building are pastel colors, mostly shades of pinks and greens.
