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. In the opposite direction too, young people left to gain using the example of the British Mandate of Palestine, see. Heinze-Greenberg 2011; 1 professional knowledge, which was beneficial in their homeland. Dogramaci 2019; Stabenow/Schüler 2019. 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. -
ISRAEL the White City of Tel Aviv
Israel 107 ISRAEL The White City of Tel Aviv On the basis of an excellent town plan, the White City of Tel Aviv was ideated and built in the 1930s and 1940s by a group of young and very active architects. It reflects on a high level and in an ex- ceptional density the main ideas of modernism, such as simplicity and minimalism in materials. Influenced by the Zionist movement, it referred mainly to the ideas of a new society: secular, free and aware of social responsibility. It also stood for a new search for purity in both thought and design. The architects, organised in a proper circle (Hahug), also influenced the town planning process. Later on, they tried to spread their ideas in the new towns in Israel. Thus, Tel Aviv became a sort of local model for modernism. The new White City The principles for town planning were developed in the mid 1920s Frishman Street, original building losing its architectural value by Sir Patrik Geddes, who had been invited by Mayor Meir Dizen- after heightening (photo: B. Furrer) goff. They were finally approved in 1938. The plan provides a sort of Garden City. Around the central square (Dizengoff Square) four types of green boulevards were planned: main arteries with through- going traffic and commercial activities, broad streets for inner con- nections, longer and broader residential streets, and short and nar- row residential streets. Although relatively small, the lots were big enough to allow the erection of detached buildings, clearly defined in their position in relation to the streets and to neighbours. -

TEL AVIV 1932-1939 DE LA EXPERIENCIA EN OCCIDENTE AL EXPERIMENTO EN ORIENTE Marcos Cortes Lerín L4 / Teoría Y Crítica De La Arquitectura
MPAA 2013/2014 ESTUDIOS OFICIALES DE MÁSTER EN PROYECTOS ARQUITECTÓNICOS AVANZADOS TEL AVIV 1932-1939 DE LA EXPERIENCIA EN OCCIDENTE AL EXPERIMENTO EN ORIENTE Marcos Cortes Lerín L4 / Teoría y Crítica de la Arquitectura Director: Juan Coll-Barreu [email protected] ES RESÚMEN. Tel-Aviv: años 30. La situación en Europa comienza a ser insostenible y muchos arquitectos judíos huyen a Palestina donde importan y adecuan los modelos modernos, aprendidos en el viejo continente, de hacer arquitectura. La ciudad, nacida en 1909 sobre las dunas a las afueras de Jaffa, crece vertiginosamente y se convierte en un laboratorio moderno sobre el tapiz urbano planeado por Patrick Geddes en 1925. En este trabajo, los múltiples factores arquitectónicos, sociales, culturales e históricos que llevaron a Tel Aviv a convertirse en la ciudad del mundo con más concentración de arquitectura moderna se entrelazan entre sí para perfi lar una imagen global a través de recorridos no lineales de lo acontecido en Tel Aviv durante los años 30 PALABRAS CLAVE: Tel Aviv, Movimiento Moderno EN ABSTRACT. Tel-Aviv. 30s The situation in Europe is becoming unsustainable and many Jewish architects fl ee to Palestine where they import the modernist way of thinking and doing architecture from the old continent. The city, born in 1909 on the dunes outside Jaffa, grows rapidly and becomes a modern laboratory over the urban tapestry planned by Patrick Geddes in 1925. In this paper, multiple architectural, social, cultural and historical factors that led Tel Aviv to become the city of the world with the highest concentration of modern architecture overlap over each other to shape a global image through non-linear paths of what happened in Tel Aviv during the 30’s. -
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. -
