About the Talk |
From the froth of a wave and a cloud
I built myself a white city
Stormy, fluid, beautiful
Naomi Shemer, 1960
Tel Aviv’s ‘White City’ is a collection of over 4,000 buildings built in the 1930s in the distinctive International Style – angular white cubes with ribbon windows, heavily inspired by the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier.
Indeed, the collection is listed by UNESCO as perhaps the largest well-preserved grouping of 1930’s International Style.
Michael will present an overview of the White City!
