Tel Aviv was a young, thriving city in the midst of economic, social, cultural and geographical change. It was during this period that the part of Tel Aviv known as “The White City” was built. The architects and designers of the city could not imagine that their choice of the Bauhaus style of architecture would eventually make Tel Aviv the largest open-air Bauhaus museum in the world. It was because of the “White City” that Tel Aviv was added to the list of 56 historical cities in the world in 2003, and became one of the few modern cities to be declared a world heritage site. The “White City” is a unique and beautiful residential neighborhood in the heart of Tel Aviv. The neighborhood consisted of 4,000 buildings that were built during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s of which about 1,000 are still standing today. The buildings, designed by the best architects in the city, drew on the Bauhaus style invented in post First World War Germany. Bauhaus design philosophy attempted to create a new, simple architectural language based on clean forms that met people’s everyday needs. The white city has mostly flat white reflective roofs that keep the city cool. In Tel Aviv, the Bauhaus style gave rise to a typical Israeli style that was perfect for the hot Mediterranean climate. Ceilings are higher and rooms larger than usual and large windows overlooking the panorama were open to the nice evening breeze. In keeping with the Israeli tradition of warm hospitality, the terraces of these homes served as meeting places for neighbors as well as friends passing by. Visitors to Tel Aviv can visit these buildings in the area of Rothschild, Bialik, and Dizengoff streets, marvel at the beauty of the houses, and sense their great contribution to the city’s architecture.
