Landscape Architecture in Israel
Given Israel’s unique political, economic, and social conditions—marked by rapid development and the need for landscape preservation—landscape architects played a central role in the nation-building project from the early twentieth century. While most writings focus on built environments and their creators, this article examines the profession’s institutionalization, tracing its evolution from gardening to spatial design. It highlights the effort…
Israel’s landscapes of Brutalism
This paper examines the adoption of brutalism in the work of Israeli landscape architects. Since the 1960s, Brutalism made its way from Europe to Israel by leading architects at the time. In parallel, landscape architects also considered Brutalism appropriate to the young state, and the use of concrete as a cheap and readily available construction material. They demonstrated creativity by constructing plazas, outdoor housing complexes, playground…
Serial properties and heritage interpretation. Lessons from the Israeli Biblical Tels inscription
World Heritage serial properties are groupings of several heritage component parts that share common themes and values. This paper examines how these serial properties, as well as their individual component parts, are influenced by serial interpretive dynamic, and how this dynamic affects on-site interpretation. We demonstrate these issues through the Israeli serial property inscription of the Biblical Tels – Megiddo, Hazor, Beer-Sheba (2005). We…
The landscape of Route 854 in Israel's Galilee
The article unfolds a micro-narrative historical case study that explores the process of building Route 854 and the intricate relations between landscape architecture and highway design. Employing a critical-historical inquiry based on a qualitative discourse and extensive archival research, it examines a process of planning, design, and construction over two decades, from 1976 to 1996. In the context of national development and the state's roads…
On, In, and Within a Place
This article examines six modes of operation on, in, and within a place in Israeli conceptual art and landscape architecture. These modes—action-in-place; intervention; place-making; representation; readymade; and second-nature—maintain landscape architecture’s conception of a genius loci , the spirit of the place. They also attend to place as a new and critical means of operation in the 1970s emerging field of conceptual art. This article explor…
The shape of theatre in the city
This article explores the spatial and social relationship between theatre and the city through the case study of Acre, a mixed peripheral city in Israel. Despite the numerous studies dealing with artistic activity in the city, we still lack a clear, systematic method for understanding art’s role in urban space. This study attempts to overcome this lacuna by suggesting an analytical method for understanding the socio-spatial relations between thea…
The role of landscape planning in Israel’s national schemes
From the early Zionist settlement of Palestine (late 19th century), landscape planning in Palestine consisted of not only territorial planning but also of symbolic image and scenery planning, reflecting the role of the scenery for people’s identity, national pride, and source of income. This study analyses the different approaches to the concept of landscape in several of Israel’s national schemes and related legislations. In general, during the …
A City for Itself
Based on the case study of a Fringe theatre festival in a peripheral city in Israel, this article identifies and analyzes a moment of change in power relations between a peripheral city and the country's central city. It offers an alternative perspective to urban discourse, which analyzes art projects in peripheral cities as duplicating colonial relations. We adapted the Marxist concept of a class in itself and a class for itself, from the socioe…
Ariel Sharon Park and the Emergence of Israel's Environmentalism
This paper examines the planning of Ariel Sharon Park, Israel's largest metropolitan park, in light of the emergence of environmentalism in Israel. It identifies four periods of significance in the park's planning. First, during the first half century of statehood (1948–1998), and in accordance with the state's general environmental oversight, the area served as a derelict backyard for the evolving metropolis of Tel Aviv, with the Hiriya landfill…
Rooted in the home garden and in the nation's landscape
In the early 20th century, the Hebrew women in Palestine found the fulfillment of their economic, social, and emotional needs in gardening. Their gardens were women's means of shaping their surroundings, mainly in the family sphere but also in the community sphere (school and kindergarten gardens, kibbutz gardens). The project was an outcome of the shared interests of pioneer women, city dwellers, and Jewish women's organizations, which differed …
