ABSTRACT
For several years now, Tel Aviv has been inseparably associated with the terms ‘White City’, ‘Bauhaus city’ and hence with modernist architecture in general (see, for example Rössler). The reasons for this lie in an architectural heritage dating from the 1930s and 40s, comprised of roughly 4,000 structures. This heritage is also defined by the founding of the city no more than two decades prior, in 1909, originally as the Ahuzat Bayit settlement north of the port city of Jaffa.
