During the 1950s, Marcel Janco devoted a significant part of his creative energies to designing decorative murals and ceramic works for public buildings. Collaborating with the workshop founded in Ein Hod by Itche Mambush and Aviva Margalit, he created impressive ceramic wall designs for the Ziv Hospital in Safed, for the Carmelit station in Haifa, for the University of Haifa, for the Masada Ulpan in Be’er Sheba, and for additional sites. Janco did not simply provide sketches or models, but actually sculpted the works on site.
