Book: Munio Gitai Weinraub: Bauhaus Architect in Erez-Israel
150.00 ₪Munio Gitai Weinraub (1909–1970) was one of the pioneers of modern architecture in Israel and a leading representative of the Bauhaus legacy in the country. Educated at the Bauhaus in Dessau, he immigrated to Palestine in 1934 and settled in Haifa, where he designed thousands of housing units, public buildings, educational institutions, and kibbutz projects, often in partnership with architect Al Mansfeld.
Deeply influenced by the social ideals of the Bauhaus, Weinraub combined functional planning, minimalist geometry, and meticulous attention to construction and materials. His work reflects a commitment to architecture as a social practice, balancing efficiency, simplicity, and human needs.
Written by architectural historian Richard Ingersoll, this book explores Weinraub’s life and work, tracing his contribution to Israeli architecture and examining his unique interpretation of Bauhaus principles in the local context. First published in English in 1994 by Electa, Milan, it remains the definitive study of one of Israel’s most important modernist architects.
