Tel Aviv: The White City: The White City

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch)

Due
to its more than 4,000 white Bauhaus buildings, Tel Aviv is often
called "the White City". The city center, created in the
nineteen-thirties and -forties under the influence of international
modernism, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. Many
architects, most of them emigrating from Europe, found opportunities
here to realize their ideological principles and architectural ideas.
Tel Aviv's modernism is characterized by a specific combination of
functionality and elegance. While the buildings are adapted to the
climatic conditions, many of them display highly specific stylistic
features.
Stefan Boness succeeds in capturing the particularities and
unique atmosphere of the city in his photographs. By juxtaposing
classical modernism with the contemporary architecture of the city, he
demystifies it while simultaneously embedding it in a historical
context.
