    Architect Joseph Klarwein Was the Winner of the 1957 Contest for Planning the Knesset Building on Givat Ram

    Handout 1 Knesset Architect Joseph Klarwein was the winner of the 1957 contest for planning the Knesset building on Givat Ram. His initial proposal presented at the contest was ultimately very different than the building that was inaugurated on August 30th 1966. In fact, it was influenced by different architects that were involved in different parts of the planning and construction throughout its nine years, and among them were architect Dov Carmi and his son Ram. In textbooks written on the Knesset building, it is claimed that the planners intended to build a construction similar to the Greek Acropolis. Those who worked on the building programs before the contest had very little idea on how they wanted the building to look, and the result – an architectural mixture – surprisingly resembled the building of the United States’ embassy in Athens. The embassy was designed by the renowned Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, which was later considered as a specimen of the “International Style.” Klarwein’s original model was comprised of a rectangular construction with 20 columns on its front and back, 15 columns on each side, and two internal yards on the eastern and western sides of the plenum hall found at the center of the building. The entrance to the building was to be on its northern front. The constructed building was square, with 10 columns on all sides, and with no internal yards; the plenum is not at its center, but on its eastern part; and west to the plenum hall there is a reception hall. This hall is named “Chagall State Hall,” as it is decorated with art created by the Russian-born Jewish artist, Marc Chagall.

    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

    Introducing Arts and Health in Israel: How Cultural Factors Affect the Field’S Development Samuel Schwartz1,Vivien Marcow Speiser2

    Original paper Introducing arts and health in Israel: How cultural factors affect the field’s development Samuel Schwartz1,Vivien Marcow Speiser2 Abstract. Cultural factors are important in determining how sub-fields within the discipline of mental health are defined and practiced. The field of arts and health in Israel is paradoxically both more and less developed than it is in other parts of the world. Tens of thousands of individuals are engaged in initiatives using the arts to humanize health care. At the same time, a holistic conception of the field of arts and health does not exist. In March 2013, the authors organized the “Arch of Arts in Health” conference, sponsored by Lesley University (Cambridge, MA and Netanya, Israel), the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology of Haifa, Israel, and the Washington, DC-based Global Alliance for Arts & Health. The conference marked the first time the field of arts health was addressed as a practical and academic discipline in Israel. The interchange between experts from Israel, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Holland, Hong Kong and South Africa highlighted the importance of cultural factors in determining how the field is perceived, developed, researched and practiced. For example, Israelis working in the field primarily conceive of arts and health as an extension of creative arts therapies, and with a nearly exclusive focus on mental health. Researchers from the United States and other countries view the field more holistically, with interplay between issues of mental and physical health. The article reviews how the field differs in Israel and other parts of the world in terms of both perception and practice and suggests how cultural determinants may partially explain these variations.
