Bauhaus Tel Aviv by Nahoum Cohen Pdf

In the 1930s the International Style was introduced into what was then Palestine by young immigrant architects, many of whom had trained at the Bauhaus and were escaping, with their families, from Nazism. The best-known was a late arrival, Erich Mendelsohn, who was working prolifically in Tel Aviv in the 1940s. Their fresh approach was swiftly accepted, displacing the orientalising, art-nouveau-influenced styles that had previously been attempted. The ideals of modernity found ready acceptance and the desire to build a new society, not influenced by older European traditions, caught on -- many thousands of Bauhaus-inspired designs were built in both Jewish and Arab cities. Tel Aviv was planned by Patrick Geddes as a 'Garden City'. This proved a particularly fertile context for the new designs using simple geometry, sitting on small, regular parcels of land. The buildings used reinforced concrete or simple plastered block construction and had open plans, roofs that provided liveable space, free elevations and strip windows. This guide provides an illustrated gazeteer to around one hundred of the best surviving Bauhaus buildings in the city, a collection that comprises one of the most developed examples of the modernist project.

More Than Bauhaus by Regina Stephan Pdf

In 2003 Tel Aviv became a UNESCO World Heritage site. On this occasion Tel Aviv was described as a "synthetic representation of some of the most significant trends of the Modern Movement in architecture, as it developed in Europe". Today the "White City" in Tel Aviv with its some 4, 000 buildings from the 1920s and 1930s is renowned as the largest collection of so-called Bauhaus buildings in the world. What does it mean that the architects of these projects arrived from all over Europe, and only six of them were Bauhaus alumni? Over recent decades the word Bauhaus has become synonymous with modernity in art, design and architecture. Often disregarding the original intentions of the School, founded in 1919 and closed in 1933, it serves as a label for all kinds of merchandise. Among them architecture is the most prominent. But, what is Bauhaus? And, is there such a thing as a specific Bauhaus architecture? In search of an answer to these crucial questions, students from Germany, Israel and Austria studied the original Bauhaus buildings in Dessau, Germany, before traveling to Tel Aviv, Israel to undertake further research. For them, the question remained: Bauhaus or not? (Klappentext).

Tel Aviv by Stefan Boness,Carsten Hueck Pdf

Because of its more than 4,000 Bauhaus buildings, Tel Aviv is often called "the White City."

Photographer Stefan Boness captures the unique atmosphere of the city, juxtaposing classical modernism and contemporary architecture.

Bauhaus Tel Aviv by Nahoum Cohen Pdf

Israeli architecture was and is still influenced by the International Style, and specifically by the Bauhaus school, with some local modifications. The Bauhaus approach to design began permeating into what was then Palestine under the British Mandate, and developed quickly and strongly in the emerging state of Israel. The International Style was introduced into the country by young architects, many of German extraction, some of whom had trained or taught at the Bauhaus, most of whom came with their families to escape Nazism. Others came from Russia and Poland, competing their studies in Europe, absorbing the then emerging ideas of the International Style. The will to build a new society, uninfluenced by older European traditions caught on readily, and the simple forms of the Bauhaus were applied. Tel Aviv contains up to 1000 buildings in the Bauhaus idiom, designed using simple geometry, usually inexpensive buildings on small, regular parcels of land. The technology was simple; using plastered and stuccoed block and concrete construction in a country lacking the elaboration of more traditional and expensive materials. This book describes a heritage that is only now being conserved and appreciated.

Tel Aviv by Maoz Azaryahu Pdf

Founded in 1909 as a "garden suburb" of the Mediterranean port of Jaffa, Tel Aviv soon became a model of Jewish self-rule and was celebrated as a jewel in the crown of Hebrew revival. Over time the city has transformed into a lively metropolis, renowned for its architecture and culture, openness and vitality. A young city, Tel Aviv continues to represent a fundamental idea that transcends the physical texture of the city and the everyday experiences of its residents. Combining historical research and cultural analysis, Maoz Azaryahu explores the different myths that have been part of the vernacular and perception of the city. He relates Tel Aviv’s mythology to its physicality through buildings, streets, personal experiences, and municipal policies. With critical insight, he evaluates specific myths and their propagation in the spheres of both official and popular culture. Azaryahu explores three distinct stages in the history of the mythic Tel Aviv: "The First Hebrew City" assesses Tel Aviv as Zionist vision and seed of the actual city; "Non-Stop City" depicts trendy, global post-Zionist Tel Aviv; and "The White City" describes Tel Aviv’s architectural landscape, created in the 1930s and imbued with nostalgia and local prestige. Tel Aviv: Mythography of a City will appeal to urban geographers, cultural historians, scholars of myth, and students of Israeli society and culture.

Moholy-Nagy and the New Typography by Petra Eisele,Isabel Naegele,Michael Lailach Pdf

"In 1929, ten years after the Bauhaus was founded, Berlin's Martin-Gropius-Bau launched the exhibition 'New Typography.' László Moholy-Nagy, who had left Dessau the previous year and had earned a reputation as a designer in Berlin, was invited to exhibit his work together with other artists. He designed a room--entitled 'Wohin geht die typografische Entwicklung?' ('Where is typography headed?')--where he presented 78 wall charts illustrating the development of the 'New Typography' since the turn of the century and extrapolating its possible future. To create these charts, he not only used his own designs, but also included advertising prints by colleagues associated with the Bauhaus. The functional graphic design, initiated by the 'New Typography' movement in the 1920s, broke with tradition and established a new advertising design based on artistic criteria. It aimed to achieve a modern look with standardized typefaces, industrial DIN norms, and adherence to such ideals as legibility, lucidity, and straightforwardness, in line with the key principles of constructivist art. For the first time, this comprehensive publication showcases Moholy-Nagy's wall charts which have recently been rediscovered in Berlin's Kunstbibliothek. Renowned authors provide insights into this treasure trove by each contributing to this alphabetized compilation starting with 'A' for 'Asymmetry' and ending with 'Z' for 'Zukunftsvision' ('vision of the future'). By perusing through the pages and allowing a free flow of association, the typographical world of ideas of the 1920s avant-garde is once again brought back to life."
