Sinopse
Características

This book examines the critical role of modern architects in shaping and transforming national Israeli memory with special regard to Jerusalem. Using as a background the attempts of various architects since the 19th century to construct a national Jewish style, the author focuses his analysis on Louis Kahns design of the Hurva synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem. This study scrutinizes and pieces together discrepant archival documents, drawings, and accounts of intentions, interpretations, events, policies, and projects in the JewishQuarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. The book reveals an unrecognized crucial interplay of Kahns Hurvah design with the competing traditional and national symbols of Jerusalem
