Early last century, european architects and immigrants brought new ideas about building design to the eastern shores of the Mediterrenean. This idea gave birth to the “white city” comprising thousands of homes inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy of architecture - the only City comprised mostly of Bauhaus designs. On Rothschild Avenue a UNESCO plaque documents the world heritage status of the city.
The website of the Bauhaus Institute of Tel Aviv provides a wealth of detailed information . . . .
Today, enterprising tour guides lead tourists through neighbourhoods along Rothschild Avenue - describing the young history of Tel Aviv and how the original designs continue to be reflected in new construction.
