  • 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.

  • 'Where Were You on Sept. 3, 2011?'
    ‘Where were you on Sept. 3, 2011?’ The signs all over Tel Aviv leading up to the big demonstration read: “Where were you on September 3, 2011?” Well, I was together with 450,000 Israelis on the streets, over 300,000 in Tel Aviv alone, with another 50,000 in Jerusalem, and 100,000 in Haifa and the north. Bibi: ‘You’re fired’ As I headed out for Habima Square, I felt a slight anxiety attack: there seemed to be too few people heading towards the Rothschild Blvd. Tent City headquarters. But the people kept coming. When I arrived at the “command headquarters”, everyone was in the midst of making makeshift homemade signs to carry, alongside the professional placards. Faces of ‘revolution’ The main attraction was a French artist who set up a photographic studio on the square, and lines of people were entering to have their photo taken and then converted into a placard which presented the face of the revolution – you and me, every one of us. The placards were plastered above the nearby banks and supermarkets which are among the targets of the demonstration, on the square itself, and later held on high by some of the model/demonstrators, some carrying their own image, some carrying images of others. In this digital age it was hard to tell the formal media from the citizen digital journalist/artist/documentarians since everyone was taking pictures of everyone else. People seemed to want to have a record that they were there on this historic day. Among the attractions at the starting point was a protester proudly waving a Che Guevera flag, a man in an Israeli flag mask and costume, and even a life- size mannequin on the back of a motorcycle of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, now past his fifth year in captivity in Gaza.

  • Carol's Faves
    Carol’s Faves Architecture 1 Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture."[1] Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing generations of architects worldwide through his works.[2] Wright was the pioneer of what came to be called the Prairie School movement of architecture, and he also developed the concept of the Usonian home in Broadacre City, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States. In addition to his houses, Wright designed original and innovative offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, museums, and other structures. He often designed interior elements for these buildings, as well, including furniture and stained glass. Wright wrote several books and numerous articles and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. He was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time."[1] In 2019, a selection of his work became a listed World Heritage Site as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upNT0OFyErM • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muoVqVZ7RlM • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up5liqCUArI Johnson Wax Building • https://www.archdaily.com/881479/understanding-the-origins-of- the-open-plan-office-space Guggenheim • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9XJT7bQrvg Bauhaus The Staatliches Bauhaus (German: "building house"), was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts.
