Summary:
The fragment is an essential part of a structure that carries within it the genetic code of the whole. Yigal Gawze's photographs distill the essence of the Bauhaus through one aspect of the school's wider impacts, capturing the abstraction, simplicity, and optimism of early modernism in the city of Tel Aviv. Concentrating on the subtle effects of natural light on architecture, Gawze highlights the encounter between a building style originating in Europe and the glare of the Mediterranean. His images culminate in a portrait of place, revealing the poetic essence of the White City's architecture and the role light takes in shaping it.

Summary:
The history of Tel Aviv, presented for a moment as an architectural history, can be seen as a part of a wider process in which the physical shaping of Tel Aviv and its political and cultural construction are intertwined, and plays a decisive role in the construction of the case, the alibi, and the apologetics of the Jewish settlement across the country. -- White City, Black City

Summary:
Fruit d’une collaboration entre une géographe et un architecte-urbaniste, cet ouvrage propose une lecture inédite de Tel-Aviv. En trois parties et sept chapitres, il fait découvrir au lecteur l’histoire urbaine, sociale et forcément politique de cette ville « globale » du Moyen-Orient, éminemment méditerranéenne et maintenant mondialement reconnue pour son patrimoine architectural et la modernité de son plan d’urbanisme, celui dessiné par P. Geddes en 1925. Ce récit renouvelé de la ville, de son développement au début du XXe siècle et de ses transformations les plus contemporaines, est porté par une géographie urbaine et sociale minutieuse et de longue haleine du quartier de Florentine.

Summary:
This monograph documents the holistic nature of the design philosophy established by Tel Aviv-based architects Irene Kronenberg and Alon Baranowitz, where space, form and materials are expressly employed to enhance human experience and social interaction. Incorporating culture, time and place in the design process is fundamental to their approach. In this book, the architects offer a personal analysis of the thinking behind seven of their projects, illustrated by extensive plans, models and photos. Included are the Tel Aviv restaurants Jaffa Tel Aviv and Deca, the Israel Museum shop, Amsterdam’s Palace Hotel and Sir Albert Hotel and Izakaya, and Villa Pi.
