- 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. - "Bauhaus in Tel Aviv - Jaffa between International and Postcolonial tendencies" by Naomi T. Salmon, Zurich.
In 2003, UNESCO's World Heritage Commission recommended inscribing the 'White City' of Tel Aviv in the organization's list of World Heritage Sites. Of four thousand buildings that were declared as Bauhaus, about half were chosen to be renovated. Naomi Tereza Salmon (Ph.D.) has conducted artistic research to find out what is left of the five principles of new architecture in the levant, where eclectic styles with the Bauhaus principles? Local and imported materials, and municipal, institutional, financial, and environmental decisions, which influence the contemporary postcolonial cityscape, will be explored and discussed.
