Five Minutes with Sharon Rotbard
August 26, 2015
There are many books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but there are few that view it through the lens of architecture. Sharon Rotbard’s White City, Black City looks at the troubled relationship of the “White City”, Tel Aviv, and the “Black City”, Jaffa, and how it has shaped the current situation in the region. Our latest Q & A has Rotbard discussing Tel Aviv’s founding myth, its Bauhaus architecture, and how recognizing Tel Aviv’s rise at the expense of Jaffa can be used to reconcile the conflict.
