  • Processes of Urban Design Preservation and Renewal in Tel-Aviv; Habima Square
    Arquitectonics: urban social and physical networks. Processes of urban design preservation and renewal in Tel- Aviv; HaBima Square Michal Silbiger 1 Processes of urban design preservation and renewal in Tel-Aviv; HaBima Square Based on my MA thesis at the Unit of Culture Research, Tel Aviv University (Silbiger, 2012) Urban planning and restoration have at their basis a need to allocate resources to those who build and design. The process of allotting resources is fundamentally of a social nature, combining individual intentions with communal aspirations. The theoretical framework utilized by urban sociologists to describe this process is eclectic and vastly interdisciplinary. Some sociologists of the city draw a connection between urban development and economic forces. Others call upon cultural ties based on interpersonal relationships and the multifaceted fabric that these relationships engender (also but not limited to socio-economic elements) as key points to understanding the urban makeup. The latter school of thought believes that the physical construction of the city bears testament to the beliefs and ambitions of diverse communities within the city who join forces to create the urban landscape. Such conceptualization of the forces operating within the city sees cultural symbols as a collective ideal made possible by a localization process that symbols undergo in order to make them emblematic of a given city. These symbols become hallmarks of the city, generating a local culture and forms of symbolizing it. The present paper will examine the cultural occurrences that have taken place in the case of HaBima Square from this latter multi-systemic approach, as defined by Even-Zohar (2004).

  • De Ciudad Mediterranea a Ciudad Lineal: Transformación De Las
    De ciudad mediterránea a ciudad lineal CIUDAD JARDÍN C2 Destrucción, separación, desconexión 105 Capítulo 3 ESCALA MECÁNICA El automóvil había adquirido una gran notoriedad ya para comienzos de la década de 1920 principalmente en Europa Central y en los Estados Unidos, y ello venía dado en detrimento del uso del transporte público. Paralelamente se había comenzado a dar marcha a la explotación de una nueva era moderna por medio de la sustracción indiscriminada de los restos fósiles para fabricar el combustible y poder con ello generar la suficiente energía para que los nuevos medios de transporte individual pudieran comercializarse en masa. Consecuentemente, la escala e imagen de las ciudades se fue transformando a semejanza de las nuevas máquinas que se apoderaban de las calles y del espacio público de las grandes urbanizaciones del mundo occidental. A lo largo de este capítulo se analizan tales efectos. LOS EFECTOS DEL AUTOMÓVIL EN LOS CENTROS URBANOS Chueca Goitia a finales de la década de 1960 hacía referencia sobre el problema que estaba generando el transporte mecánico en las ciudades modernas de la siguiente manera: "El automóvil, que ha sido la palanca de la expansión, se ha convertido, por otro lado, en el elemento más perturbador e incómodo de la vida ciudadana".1 Como consecuencia de la expansión del mercado automotriz por parte de las diferentes industrias encargadas de los suministros para su fabricación, el espacio público de las ciudades se vio significativamente perjudicado. Los centros históricos prontamente empezaron a colapsar debido a la intensa concentración de contaminación, polución, y ruidos nocivos que producían los medios masivos del transporte mecánico.

The Subversive Utopia: Louis Kahn and the Question of the National Jewish Style in Jerusalem Abstract This dissertation examines the critical role of modern architects in shaping and transforming national Israeli symbols with special regard to Jerusalem. According to customary views, Zionist symbols image the secular state of Israel as an emancipation of the Jewish nation from the oppressive Diaspora past. The first part of this study analyzes pre-1967 designs, by architects including Baehrwald, Geddes, Mendelsohn, "Bauhaus" practitioners, and Rau that attempted to construct a Jewish style relating these national symbols. Images of the Diaspora in their designs are shown to conceal areas of tension with official Zionist memory. Louis Kahn's later design of the Khurvah synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem creatively exploited this tension to redefine the national style. As a case study, Kahn's design distinctly shows that the shaping of national symbols and memory is a process contested not only by competing state institutions, but by marginal elements, in this case individual architects.
