Bauhaus Center
155 Dizengoff
Tel.: 03-5221010

Surprisingly, Tel Aviv has more Bauhaus buildings that any other city in the world, so many indeed that it was recently designated by Unesco as a World Heritage Site. The buildings were designed by Bauhaus architects who immigrated to Israel from Europe in the 1930s and were influenced by the work of Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius. Notable among them were Erich Mendelsohn, and Genia Averbuch designer of the famed Dizengoff Circle. All in all some 4000 Bauhaus buildings were built in the 1930s – a development which turned the city center into a quasi "open air Bauhaus museum" and earned Tel Aviv the nickname “White City.”
