“Bauhaus and the Search for Home”, When I arrived in Tel Aviv from Kharkiv in 2014, at the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine, I felt a deep emptiness — the kind that comes from losing your sense of home. That’s when I began my search for a new one. Surprisingly, I found it in Bauhaus.

Back then, I thought beautiful architecture had to be ornate — full of carvings, arches, and complex facades. But Bauhaus taught me something else: that beauty can live in simplicity. Its sleek, clean lines and quiet elegance felt almost like a visual sigh — as if the buildings themselves were ships sailing gently through the noise of the city.

In Tel Aviv, Bauhaus architecture became a new kind of anchor. It reminded me of the sea — especially during the hottest days, even when I couldn’t see the water. There was something in those white walls and shaded balconies that made me feel less lost, more grounded. A quiet kind of home.
