Jewish Architecture
by [Berkovich, Gary]
$36.30
Description
Every national architecture-whether Japanese, German, French, Moroccan, or Israeli-reflects the culture, traditions, climate, and technology of the nation within its borders.
Therefore, for nearly two millennia, the Jewish people, lacking a state, did not have a national Jewish architecture. Buildings constructed by or for Jews in host countries should thus be considered Jewish heritage, not Jewish national architecture.
Global international architecture has emerged in the past two centuries, transcending state boundaries and traditional national forms. This book seeks to demonstrate how the Jewish diaspora-a nation without a land-has played a significant role in fostering, shaping, and contributing to its development. This international phenomenon, which reflects Jewish cosmopolitanism and innovation, can be aptly termed "Jewish Architecture."
