The Return to the Holy Land
Eclecticism & Orientalism
Houses built in the 1920s in a stylistic mixture which combined local, oriental motifs with those taken from classical architecture. Motifs were taken from Jewish Culture.

The Garden City
The English School
English modernism united tradition with liberty, or rationalism with romanticism, evolved from William Morris’ philosophy, demanding functionalism and liberation from the eclecticism of the 19th century. Thus architects searched for the continuity of local traditions and building methods.

Sources of Modernism in Israel
Early modernism in Europe (1910-25) was linked to social reforms of Arts and Crafts movements in England and Germany, though without architectural solutions.
Morris, Shaw and Ashbee promoted anti-urban socialist concepts.
Ebenezer Howard promoted ideas of the garden suburb, the self-sufficient city.
Le Corbusier’s planning model of the Plan Voisin though never adopted, gave the simple language that was to be tested in Israel.

The Return to the Holy Land
Moshav
The plan of the cooperative settlement of Nahalal, by Kaufmann in 1924, is a reflection of the desire and dream to create the ideal and perfect society.
Centric organization: means of industrial production are sited in the central circle, surrounded by residential area, which is surrounded by farmlands.

Tel Aviv - 1909
Ahuzat Bayit
Built as a suburb of Jaffa in 1909, in which each house was surrounded by a garden, was the first neighborhood in Israel planned according to the garden city concept.

The British Mandate (1920-1948) – Tel Aviv
The new city of Tel Aviv began as a combination of neo-classical elements and the new Garden City concept.
The original nucleus contained a main street on the symmetrical axis – leading to the first Hebrew high school, intersected by several streets and a wide avenue- forming a grid with potential growth.
While urban design was committed to European types, the Tel Aviv architecture was to be very eclectic: a mixture of east and west.

Geddes’ master plan consisted of a hierarchical grid of main arteries and secondary streets forming urban ‘blocks’. Within each block, a sub-system of short and narrow residential streets- ‘homeways’ encircled a small public park at the centre.

The Super block

super block core
The opposition to the plan came from those who wanted to build on the valuable land that was left in the core of the superblock. Anticipating this, Geddes proposed that the state sell the cheaper lands north of the Yarkon river.Unfortunately today, not much is left from the original plan, yet, the area where the plan has survived is considered the most comfortable in Tel-Aviv.
