His works in Israel include the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Jerusalem, the Antiquities Museum in Hatzor and the Israel National Academy of Sciences building, also in the capital.
Resnick was born in Rio de Janeiro and raised in a secular Zionist household. He met his wife, Rachel, through the Hashomer Hatzair youth organization, and the two immigrated to Israel in 1949.
His funeral was scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday at Jerusalem’s Givat Shaul cemetery.
