First, it aims to make known to the general public the fact that Tel Aviv, a modern town one hundred years of age, is in its core one of the few successes of modern planning. Tel Aviv enjoys real urban activity, almost around the clock, and this activity contains all the range of human achievement: social, cultural, financial, etc. This intensity is promoted and enlivened by a relatively minor part of the city, the part planned by Sir Patrick Geddes, a Scotsman, anthropologist and man of vision. This urban core is the subject of the book, and it will be explored and presented here using aerial photos, maps, panoramic views, and what we hope will be layman-accessible explanations.

  • Forms, Ideals, and Methods. Bauhaus Transfers to Mandatory Palestine
    Ronny Schüler Forms, Ideals, and Methods. Bauhaus Transfers to Mandatory Palestine Introduction A “Bauhaus style” would be a setback to academic stagnation, into a state of inertia hostile to life, the combatting of which the Bauhaus was once founded. May the Bauhaus be saved from this death. Walter Gropius, 1930 The construction activities of the Jewish community in the British Mandate of Palestine represents a prominent paradigm for the spread of European avant-garde architecture. In the 1930s, there is likely no comparable example for the interaction of a similar variety of influences in such a confined space. The reception of architectural modernism – referred to as “Neues Bauen” in Germany – occurred in the context of a broad cultural transfer process, which had already begun in the wake of the waves of immigration (“Aliyot”) from Eu- rope at the end of the nineteenth century and had a formative effect within the emancipating Jewish community in Palestine (“Yishuv”). Among the growing number of immigrants who turned their backs on Europe with the rise of fas- cism and National Socialism were renowned intellectuals, artists, and archi- tects. They brought the knowledge and experience they had acquired in their 1 On the transfer process of modernity European homelands.

Despite the fact that, in the case of Palestine, the broad transfer processes were fueled by a number of sources and therefore represent the plurality of European architectural modernism, the Bauhaus is assigned outstanding 2 importance.

  • Studio Spring 2020. Tel Aviv. 1.20.20
    The White City and the Sea, Tel Aviv, Israel Designs for a new vision at Tel Aviv’s Western edge: Kikar Atarim 21 January, 2019 The University of Texas at Austin ARC 560R/ARC 696, Advanced Design Studio School of Architecture Professor Kevin Alter “The essence of each city arises from an age-old alchemy, almost inexplicable and beyond Geography and recorded History, from the weight of its very materials. Echoes of cross- fertilizations transform cities slowly and gradually, or suddenly. They collide, they dissolve in the interstices of the origins, they impress us, we who drag with us other waves. All cities are my city, to which I always return.Everything is different then, because I know what is different. My eyes open to my city, I am once again an astonished stranger, capable of seeing: of doing.” Alvaro Siza “The City”, Writings on Architecture, 1997 Advanced Design, ARC 561R, ARC 696 Architecture has the capacity to extend both the physical and social faculties of those who experience it, and as such, it can also be understood as a mechanism to build the culture of a place. The practice of architecture within cultural programs is the project of a building, the project of the institution it hosts, and the project of the city it defines. Here, architecture plays a fundamental role: it is the device to expand our collective culture as well as the understanding of the place in which we live. Architects are increasingly being asked to address the urgent demands of global urban expansion and its constituencies with deft, agile designs supported by insightful research.
