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.

In the City of the Famed Greek Cheesemakers, a Resplendent
Yanina The Last ROMANIOTES ofYannina In the city of the famed Greek cheesemakers, a resplendent synagogue stands in sharp contrast to a neglected cemetery, testimony to the priorities of a small but unique community. The liturgy here preserved is the closest in existence to the ancient tradition of the Land of Israel | Tsur Ehrlich While other communities suffered repeated expulsions, the Jews of Yannina enjoyed years of stability, the reason perhaps for their typically Greek, laid-back character 10 December 2010 www.segulamag.com Yanina ROMANIOTES Yannina The Jewish Journey through History Tevet 5770 11 Yanina t was more like a forest than a cemetery," Rebecca Salem recalls. "The thicker trees Ihad been chopped down by the community before our visit, but the place was still badly overgrown. We had to remove creepers deli- cately so as not to damage the gravestones. The whole area was riddled with animal burrows, and full of tortoises. There were four of us, all students, three of us female, not exactly experi- enced woodchoppers or the rough-and-tumble physical type, but our eagerness to uncover the distant past of the singular Jewish community of Ioannina was an excellent substitute for missing muscles." "We discovered a wide variety of grave- stones hidden in the thickets. Some were in Hebrew, occasionally even including poetic verses and rhymes, while others were written in Greek script. There were gravestones that were decades old; others dated back hundreds of years. No apparent logical order reigned in this mixture of new and old, Hebrew and Geek, recent graves from the last century alongside ancient ones.
