Bauhaus in Tel Aviv

Bruno House, 3 Strauss Street by Ze’ev Haller, 1933

Thousands of German Jews immigrated to Tel Aviv between the two World Wars, and they brought with them the modern architectural teachings of the renowned Bauhaus art school.

Today, Tel Aviv possesses one of the largest number and best-preserved collections of Bauhaus architecture in the world–most of these buildings constructed between 1920 and 1940.

Most of these structures feature elements of Modernism–such as undecorated surfaces, ribbon windows, outdoor living spaces, and flat roofs.

During my stay in Tel Aviv during the Summer of 2019, I took a walking tour of the so called White City to take an up close look at these beautiful modernist structures.
