Duvshani, Gilead
Notes on Local Architecture in Israel

Translated from Hebrew by Avi Shamir. Preface by Rob Krier.

Architect Gilead Duvhsani lays out a systematic creation process for local architecture. The process and approach are important for every student of architecture, architect and whoever is interested in architecture that derives from the essence of a place, as an antithesis to architecture with common denominators that are widespread all over the world today. Taking interest in Israel is both all-encompassing and of special significance - as a society that built within a few decades a new state, as a meeting grounds between different cultures and an area of difficult conflicts. 265 Seiten mit 238 überwiegend farbigen Abb., Großformat, gebunden (Wasmuth Verlag 2008)
