Mmm, Tel Aviv's White City.
From Bauhaus to your house.

Absolutely ghastly. It was used in the series 'Cracker'- it was where Robert Carlyle's character lived. We lived just around the corner from there, in Perryman Close.Originally posted by lightblue

It was pretty much a no go area for police, run by drug running gangs and the like. I looked at a student house in Hulme, ended up going to Longsight and Moss Side.Comment

University of East Anglia...Attached Files"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I think we were in a slightly posher bit- it wasn't one of the awful Crescents, at least.
We were closer to Hulme Walk and the Manchester Poly buildings.

Just the white city wouldn't make TA it - It's the Bauhaus - Art Deco combos that are to die for.
But life needs balance - so Tel Aviv was blessed with the majestic monstrocity that is the Tel Aviv City Hall.
All government Offices will move to this when it's done. It's impressive, yes, and it also forms a skyline with the Azrieli - Bezeq towers... but I am not a big fan.
the General Command building of the IDF looks rather nice and pleasant - for a cube.
(seriously, i like it's colours. amazingly, it looks fun and not depressing at all)
So, basically, I love it electic, and in good taste:

None of those are incredibly ugly, Az. Some of them are boring, but no worse.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Prior to the construction of the Vietnam War Memorial in 1982, one of the major criticism of Modernist architecture was its failure to produce a memorial.
Since then there have been many Modernist memorials which do indeed evoke an emotional response.
However, Modernism still has yet to produce anything romantic. This is one of the reasons that flat roofs over concrete and glass walls are a rare sight in residential architecture.Visit First Cultural Industries

This can't be the first modernist memorial in the world, can it?Comment

I mean it's not very prudent from the security perspective in Israel, is it?

Everything is a target. It's kinda boring to think that way. Besides, I don't think that killing a heap of bureaucrats is their target. After all, This is the local branch of the national government in Tel Aviv, not the main seat of most of the ministries. The only ministry with it's head seat in Tel Aviv is the ministry of Defence, and you've seen it's main building already ( the cube with the helipad - or Voyager, like you called it.
) This isn't the only building of the MoD, far far from it, but it's where the HQ sits.
