Touring Brutalist Tel-Aviv

Event Date: Jun 29, 2020; Event City: During London Festival of Architecture, ReCA invites you to explore brutalist architecture in Tel-Aviv. The nascence of the state of Israel in 1948 coincides with the Late-Modernism and Brutalism in Architecture. Most of the public structures built during the 1950s and 1960s manifest brutalist Architecture as a promoter of democracy, modesty, pluralism, and integrity, both in material and in form. ReCA’s team, led by founder Arch. Amnon Rechter and Curator Arch. Dana Gordon will conduct three virtual guided tours in which we will explore the term ‘power’ and its relation to Architecture, Urbanism, and ‘The State’. We will examine three iconic buildings planned by Arch. Yaakov Rechter in Tel-Aviv and their adjacent urban context. Tour 1- Sat, June 27th: Tel Aviv Law Court, 1965 and Law Court Tower, 2016. Tour 2 - Sun, June 28th: The ‘Hilton’ hotel and the nearby Independence Garden. Tour 3 - Mon, June 29th: ‘Atarim’ square and Tel-Aviv’s shoreline. Read the full post on Bustler
