Herewith a picture of a Bauhaus building (1934) in the Frishman Street no.22. The building needs badly a restoration : as you can see, during the years the inhabitants of the building, closed some of the balconies (extra-room) and did put ugly, plastic sun-shades on the top-floor.

Our editor Frits in the media again: Dutch radio
Flavius, a Dutch ‘current historic magazine’ of the Joodse Omroep (Jewish Broadcasting Company), has made a radio report a few weeks ago with Tel Aviv Fever editor Frits de Wit. It will be broadcasted in The Netherlands (Dutch only) and will be available online after the broadcast: Radio 5, Sunday May 31st, 19:30-20:30 local time. Maybe we’ll be able to make you a (shortened?) transcript. The for us most important two subjects are on Tel Aviv and Tel Aviv Only: Frits is touring the reporter through Tel Aviv and talking about architecture and Bauhaus architecture particulary and architect Herman Hertzberger talks about his not realized development plans for Tel Aviv.

The first color film of Tel Aviv
Herewith the first color film of Tel Aviv, made by an English soldier in the beginning of 1930. On the film (more then 4 minutes) you will see the building-work on the first white Bauhaus-buildings, Herzl Street and the Gymnasium-Herzliya, that was brutally ‘torn down’ by the municipality of Tel Aviv, Allenbey Street, the first Muncipality building on Bialik Square, some nice shots of Tel Aviv beach with the famous ‘Kadar’ -restaurant (a long time ago ‘destroyed’) and the fantastic Mugrabi Cinema on the corner of Allenbey- and Ben-Gurion Street, that was ‘pulled- down’ (this crime was done by 3 CAT-buldozers) in December 1995 and this spot, is until today..a ‘bloody’ parking place!! A crying shame !! The famous rock-singer Arik Einstein said once: “..the Mugrabi cinema in … Read entire article »

Bauhaus Tel Aviv, an architectural Guide
A handy architectural guide (16×16 cm) was published by Batsford, England: ‘Bauhaus Tel Aviv: an architectural guide’ by the Israeli architect Nahoum Cohen.

The guide is only in English and written for the (architectural) tourist, who is coming to Tel Aviv. So, it is quite strange, that you ‘want’ find a city-map inside the booklet, were you will find the buildings mentioned by Nahoum Cohen. Price: NIS90 … Read entire article »
