1096 IL - White City of Tel-Aviv -- the Modern Movement (2003)

Brief Description

"Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 and developed as a metropolitan city under the British Mandate in Palestine. The White City was constructed from the early 1930s until the 1950s, based on the urban plan by Sir Patrick Geddes, reflecting modern organic planning principles. The buildings were designed by architects who were trained in Europe where they practised their profession before immigrating. They created an outstanding architectural ensemble of the Modern Movement in a new cultural context."

特拉维夫白城——现代运动
"特拉维夫建于1909年，并逐渐发展成为驻巴勒 斯坦英军控制下的一个大都市。在20世纪30年代初到50年代间，白城在帕特莱克爵士的城市规划基础上建成，体现了现代城市发展规划的基本原则。城中的建 筑物由在欧洲培训和实习的建筑设计师设计而成，他们以全新的文化理念创造了一个杰出的“现代运动”的建筑群。"
