Last September restoration works started on the … 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.

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 pictures were taken on Friday-afternoon, November 14 th. … Read entire article »
