Description:

The White City refers to a collection of over 4,000 Bauhaus or International style buildings built in Tel Aviv from the 1930s by Jewish architects who immigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine after the rise of the Nazis. Tel Aviv has the largest number of buildings in this style of any city in the world. Preservation, documentation, and exhibitions (in particular the "White City" exhibition in Tel Aviv in 1984, curated by Michael Levin) have brought attention to the area. In 2003 UNESCO proclaimed Tel Aviv's White City a World Cultural Heritage site. During the 1930s the architects Joseph Berlin, Richard Kauffmann and Leopold Krakauer developed their Modern Movement buildings, while the International Style was introduced through Ze’ev Rechter, Barkai and Tchlenov (influenced by Le Corbusier) Arieh Sharon, Gitai-Weinraub and Mestiechkin (influenced by the Bauhaus) and Neufeld and Rubin (influenced by Erich Mendelsohn).
