  • 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.

General Background and Executive Summary I.1 General Background The Council for Higher Education (CHE) decided to evaluate the study programs in the field of communication in Israel in the academic year 2008-2009. Following the decision by the CHE, the Minister of Education appointed the following members of the evaluation commit- tee: - Professor Joseph Cappella, University of Pennsylvania (Chair) - Professor emerita Hanna Adoni, Hebrew University (Sapir College and Netanya College) - Professor Wolfgang Donsbach, University of Dresden - Professor Mordechai Kremnitzer, Hebrew University - Professor Karen Ross, University of Liverpool (College of Management, Tel Aviv University, Haifa University, and Ben-Gurion University) - Professor Esther Thorson, University of Missouri (College of Management, Tel Aviv University, Haifa University, and Ben-Gurion University) Ms. Michal Kabatznik coordinated the committee The committee’s work in the first phase suffered from two cancellations by previous members of the committee, one coming in shortly before the committee’s work began. This, as well as time constraints on the side of the two Israeli members, led to the fact that at least in the be- ginning the committee lacked the breadth of perspectives and the distribution of labor that is required for such an important task. The committee’s work also was affected by the military situation in Israel and the Gaza strip that escalated shortly before the first field trip.

  • How Three Generations of Bedouin Women Express the Meaning of Home
    J Hous and the Built Environ DOI 10.1007/s10901-017-9546-5 ARTICLE A place of many names: how three generations of Bedouin women express the meaning of home Nuzha Allassad Alhuzail1 Received: 1 December 2015 / Accepted: 8 April 2017 Ó The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract This article examines how three generations of Bedouin women in southern Israel express what home means to them through the names they give it: bayt, maskan,anddar.Home has always been significant in the lives of Bedouin women, but Bedouin society is undergoing major changes—culturally, socially, and in the form of settlement. The external form of the Bedouin home has changed, too, from a tent to a stone house, from an open structure to a closed one, from being part of the open space of the desert to being a limited space in a neighborhood. To understand the changing meaning of home for Bedouin women during this transition, I conducted a narrative study with 30 women, of three generations that correspond to three periods of settlement, paying particular attention to the names with which they referred to their home. In the nomadic period, the tent, called bayt, allowed life to flow between the home and the tribe, providing a sense of security and control over the social environment. In the ‘‘sayag’’ (restriction) period, home was called maskan, a place that generates an atmosphere of tranquility and partial control but also distances the women from an external environment that has become unfamiliar and dangerous for them.
