'Israel as a Modern Architectural Experimental Lab, [ is] another manifestation of [ the] renewed appreciation of early state architecture and adds to our collective understanding of the role concrete played in Israels magnificent construction.' -- Liam Hoare, Tel Aviv Review of Books 'Israel as a Modern Architectural Experimental Lab, 19481978 makes an important contribution to this growing body of literature by bringing together case studies of different kinds of buildings in a variety of sites across Israel and outside the country. [ ...] The book covers diverse landscapes, it also leaves a number of areas for future investigation. [ ...] An invaluable addition to the study of Israeli architecture, but it will also be of interest to anyone studying the relationship between modernist architecture and nation building more generally.' -- Noam Shoked, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
