Summary:
Because of its more than 4,000 Bauhaus buildings, Tel Aviv is often called "the White City." The city center, created in the 1930s and 1940s under the influence of international modernism, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. Photographer Stefan Boness captures the unique atmosphere of the city, juxtaposing classical modernism and contemporary architecture.
