In Transit to Nowhere
I did find an interesting article in Ha’aretz by Esther Zandberg about the Neve-Sha’anan neighborhood: “In transit to nowhere”. Neve Sha’anan is the neighborhood between the old- and new Tel Aviv busstation and crowded today with foreign workers. Neve Sha’anan Street was once know as the shoe-shop street, because of the hundreds of small shoe-shops. Esther Zandberg writes: “…If we planners had understood that Neve Sha’anan was an inseparable part of the city and not a transit point, perhaps we would have know how to answer the real needs of a neighborhood and people who live there”. … Read entire article »

Solel Boneh arcade destroyed
An other historic icon in Tel Aviv is gone The Solel Boneh Arcade at Allenby Street no. 111, a covered passage-way, was designed in the 1950s by Dov Karmi and Arieh Sharon in a modernist style and came to symbolize the era. Within the arcade were 20 small businesses and the famous Tamar Cinema. The 3 upper-floors contained Soleh Boneh, once the largest construction in Israel, offices. The arcade was destroyed to make space for the 27 floors glass tower the American architect Richard Meir designed on the corner of Allenby- and Rothschild Boulevard.

The worst show in town
A very good commentary I did find in Ha’aretz, November the 6th: “The worst show in town” about the ‘rape’ (so called restoration) of our national theater building Habima by the (so called) architect Ram Karmi. The editor of Ha’aretz wrote,e.g: “When every city resident wanting to expand a window or close off a balcony must go trough the purgatory of municipal red tape, it is puzzling that such brutal, environment-altering structure could have emerged (an enormous block of concrete, sealed by walls, rising like a dam along the street) in such an attractive part of central Tel-Aviv…” … Read entire article »
