Summary

A groundbreaking review highlights Israel's pivotal role as an experimental laboratory for modern architecture between 1948 and 1978, expanding the traditional focus from Tel Aviv's White City to diverse sites across Israel and beyond. This collection of case studies reveals how the International Style evolved through innovative practices in settlements like East Jerusalem and projects abroad, such as Iran and Nigeria. The review emphasizes a shift in architectural history, moving beyond émigré influences to explore indigenous adaptations and global engagements during this transformative period.
