Notes:

"Due to its more than 4,000 Bauhaus buildings, Tel Aviv is often called 'the White City.' The city center, mainly created in the nineteen-thirties and -forties under the influence of international modernism, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. ... Stefan Boness succeeds in capturing the particularities and unique atmosphere of the city in his photographs. By juxtaposing classical modernism with the contemporary architecture of the city, he demystifies it while simultaneously embedding it in a historical context"--Page 4 of cover.
