Architecture in Flip-Flops: Bat Yam, 1920-1990 | Daphna Levine

michagross — Mon, 22 May 2023 17:53:14 +0000

The wide variety of building types solidified in Bat Yam during the first few decades resembles a pastiche of architectural catalogs. Over the years, Bat Yam has provided space for Israeli social and architectural experimentation. Under the city's overarching blueprint, Zionism's narrative unfolded, and so did the everyday tales of city life. Massive investments in real estate in the last decade and effervescent plans for urban regeneration highlight the need to formulate Bat Yam's unique urban narrative and examine how the elusive Bat Yam character expresses itself. Now is the time to think of Bat Yam as a fascinating place derivative of the Zionist project. It is the right time to think of Bat Yam and cities like it as the front room of Israeli residence, as a display of needs, actions, and the forces at play. It's time to think of Bat Yam as prose.Dr. Daphna Levine is an architect and urban renewal researcher. As director of the strategic planning department in the Bat Yam municipality, she led the city's conservation plan; this book is the product of this fascinating endeavor.

" [...] בת ים, עיר שנדמתה בעיני התמות כאילו פוסלה בחול ובמלח, וחופה פלש לרחובותיה. תושבי העיר דשדשו לכל מקום בכפכפיהם האדומים-שחורים [...] שמשיות צהובות לבלבו במרפסות כחבצלות [...] חלפתי על פני בניינים שנצרבו והשחימו ברבות השנים, ושלאורך קירותיהם התנחשו צינורות ומרזבים, חוטי חשמל שחורים שעליהם התנפנפה כביסה צבעונית, בעיקר בגדים תחתונים, גופיות מחוררות, חזיות מלמלה ודגלי ישראל [...] "

(בעז גאון, אליהו מחפש אהבה, 2017, זמורה ביתן)

בת ים, שנולדה בשנות ה-20 של המאה העשרים, שימשה לאורך השנים שדה פורה לניסויים חברתיים ואדריכליים בישראל, ומגוון טיפוסי הבנייה שנוצקו אליה הותכו יחדיו למעין קטלוג אדריכלי. תחת שרביט התכנון ובאמצעותו נרקמו הסיפורים הגדולים של הציונות, כמו גם הסיפורים האנושיים הקטנים של חיי היום־יום, ופרחה עיר שכל רצונה הוא להיות היא עצמה: להתגלש על גג הבטון של עמיגור, לרוץ באימה לאורכו של בית חולים הגפן, להתגלגל בדיונות, להתנשק בקולנוע העצמאות.

לנוכח ההשקעות המסיביות בנדל"ן והפופולריות הגוברת של תוכניות ההתחדשות העירונית בעשור האחרון, עולה הצורך לגבש את הסיפור העירוני הייחודי של העיר ולברר מהו בדיוק הדבר ה"בת־ימי" החמקמק הזה; מה בהיסטוריה הבנויה של בת ים ראוי לשימור וממה אפשר להיפרד למען פיתוח והתחדשות. זו העת לשאול מהו הסיפור שבת ים רוצה לספר; זו העת לחשוב את בת ים כפרוזה.

ד"ר דפנה לוין היא אדריכלית וחוקרת התחדשות עירונית. במסגרת תפקידה כמנהלת היחידה לתכנון אסטרטגי בעיריית בת ים היא הובילה את תוכנית השימור של העיר; הספר הזה הוא תוצר של עשייה מרתקת זו. ספריה הקודמים: המרחב השלישי (רסלינג, 2016); בית אינו אפס עיר (הטכניון, 2022); דֶלפין (הקיבוץ המאוחד, ספריית פועלים, 2023).

‘In Tel Aviv people live life at 100 per cent’

michagross — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 15:00:58 +0000

The white Bauhaus city is in the Financial Times !French architect and Designer Charles Zana shares his favorites haunts in the city of Bauhaus.Here is a peek at a part of the article: Tel Aviv is known as the White City because of its Bauhaus-inspired white concrete and steel buildings. Many of the great Bauhaus architects, including Arieh Sharon and Shlomo Bernstein, fled the Nazis in the ’30s and landed here; the Bauhaus quarter – where many of these buildings are concentrated – was named a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2003 and it’s one of the largest collections of this architectural style anywhere in the world. The best place to find books and gifts on the subject is at the shop in The Bauhaus Center.For the full article click the link here.

Tel Aviv in India: Mumbai–Tel Aviv: Architecture Moderne

Tel Aviv in IndiaTo celebrate the establishment of diplomatic ties between Israel and India thirty years ago, the Israeli Consulate General in Mumbai organized an exhibition with the support of Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv; Sir JJ College of Architecture, Mumbai; and Art Deco Mumbai. The exhibition Mumbai–Tel Aviv: Architecture Moderne debuted in June at the JJ College of Architecture in Mumbai, and will open on November 3, 2022 at the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv.In the 1930s, a new architectural development occurred both in Tel Aviv and Mumbai: the city’s urban appearance transformed into a new, modernist weave—with neatly laid out plots, uniform footprints, and building heights, punctuated by the façades of new building typologies that dominated the skyline.This exhibition is a way of acknowledging the sorority of cities who shared similar architectural styles—Art Deco in Mumbai and the Bauhaus Style in Tel Aviv—as evident in cinemas, residential buildings, houses of worship, and other building types in the two cities.“The Guide” section of Mumbai’s Mid-Day covering the exhibitionMumbai–Tel Aviv: Architecture Moderne, opening November 3rd at the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv Gallery

Bauhaus Tel Aviv around the world

Following the removal of COVID-19 restrictions, Bauhaus Tel Aviv has seen a rise in international interest, with new exhibitions in Georgia and in India

100 Years Vkhutemas Moscow – Revolution, Art and Architecture – (due to Covid19 pandemic, the exhibition will be postponed)

bhsadmin — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 11:59:41 +0000

In 2020, just a year after the inspiring 2019 events around the Bauhaus centenary, we celebrate the founding of the Russian Art And Architecture School of Vkhutemas 100 years ago. Historical and ideological parallels between the two schools are evident. Find out more about Vkhutemas below. Follow us on Facebook and sign up for our Newsletter to receive updates and an invitation to the opening of our exhibition honoring the 'Russian Bauhaus'.Both schools, Vkhutemas in Russia and Bauhaus in Germany, were founded after war and turmoil (First World War and Russian Revolution) and dedicated their work to the creation of a better future. The "lifespan" of both institutes was short: Vkhutemas was closed after only 10 years of existence, while the Bauhaus school lasted for 14 years; dictatorial regimes were the reason for the closing of both schools. - In contrast to the Bauhaus in Germany, no successor with the name Vkhutemas can be found in today's Russia.

Founded To Create A Better Future

During its existence, the Vkhutemas united the most creative contemporaries of the young Soviet Union; classical and modern art as well as architecture were taught with the aim of improving the living conditions of the masses. Ideological tensions emerged between adherents of the so-called "psychoanalytical" approach, which took into account psychological factors in art and architecture, and the "constructivist" approach, which reduced architecture to engineering.

Vkhutemas in Russian: ВХУТЕМАС Высшие художественно-технические мастерские (Wysschije Chudoschestwenno Technitscheskije Masterskije - in English: Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops)

100 years later, we stand amazed by the creativity, which found expression under the most difficult material conditions at this school. In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, creative pioneers approached their work with an admirable energy and positive attitude, in pursuit of the creation of a better future.New, daring paths were explored in art as well as in architecture. While El Lissitzky, Malevitch, Rodchenko and Kandinsky later became famous also in the western world, the oeuvre of great architects such as Ginzburg, Mijelnikov, the Vjesnin brothers and Ladowski achieved less global recognition. In times of political isolation, their architectural work and buildings rarely got attention except from the local public - while works of art could easily be transported to be presented all over the world and reach a wider international audience.

Vkhutemas 100 Exhibition at Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv

The exhibition of the Bauhaus Center shows the organizational structure and the different educational strands which characterized the education at the Vkhutemas. Based on the example of the work of Moise Ginzburg, the architectural innovations conveyed are demonstrated: the flat roof, the ribbon window, the renunciation of decorations without functions, pilotis etc. In addition to these formal elements, the program also includes content-related innovations: communal kitchens, laundry rooms or common rooms appeared in residential buildings; and workers’ clubs were planned as part of the cultural renewal.Using the revolutionary Narkomfin complex (1928-30) as a case study, the exhibition illustrates the careful restoration and adaptation of the building to today’s requirements. Two biographies of female students of the Vkhutemas school are part of the display. The last part of our documentary exhibition sheds light on the international reputation of the Vkhutemas.More details: Bauhaus Center Vkhutemas 100 exhibition >>
