Belyi gorod. Arkhitektura baukhausa v Tel-Avive (White City: Bauhaus Architecture in Tel-Aviv)
St. Petersburg: Herm, 2013. sewn pb. The Hermitage does not often do exhibitions devoted to architecture; when it does, the exhibition is special as in “White City,” which uses maps, plans, archival and contemporary photographs to show the way a modern architectural style was aptly chosen for a singular natural setting. The theme of preservation is central — the technical challenge of keeping up delicate forms of stucco, for example, and the social challenge of prevailing upon owners of residential and commercial buildings to preserve the integrity of the city’s ensembles. 100 pp., 22 cm., 9 ½ x 10 ¾ ins., 120 b-&-w illus., 24 color, Rus. and ENGLISH.
