Lonely Planet review for Bauhaus Centre
Bauhaus fans will want to stop by the Bauhaus Centre which is loaded with souvenirs and artwork. The centre runs a Bauhaus city tour on Fridays.
Bauhaus style offers simplicity and egalitarianism, designed by architects who carried socialist ideals with them from Europe to Israel. One result of their collective beliefs is the flat roof, intended to be a communal area for all the residents of each building. Of the 4000 Bauhaus-style buildings in the city, just 360 have been renovated, the rest crumbing in the salty, humid sea air, which is not kind to the plaster used for the building façades. Despite its Unesco status, there are no public funds for the restoration of buildings - anything restored was completed by the building's owner.
A handy book if you are interested in Bauhaus architecture is Bauhaus - Tel Aviv (2003) by Nahoum Cohen, with a brief description of Bauhaus style and lots of pictures of buildings in Tel Aviv.
