English summary: In the 1920s, architectural Modernism became the predominant form of expression for the Jewish community in Mandatory Palestine, where it gained acceptance faster than in most European countries. In Tel Aviv, the so-called AWhite CityA emerged as a modern building ensemble of extraordinary density. This volume explores the prevalence of modernist architecture in Palestine with respect to the underlying processes of transfer. Renowned authors examine the techniques, structures, and processes which made both this transfer of architectural knowledge and its subsequent adaptation to the local context possible, thereby sharpening our perspective on this fascinating chapter of architectural history.German description: Das Neue Bauen wurde seit den 1920er Jahren zur architektonischen Ausdrucksform der judischen Gemeinschaft im damaligen britischen Mandatsgebiet Palastina. Es setzte sich hier schneller durch als in den meisten Landern Europas. In Tel Aviv etwa entstand mit der sogenannten White City ein modernes Architekturensemble von aussergewohnlicher Dichte. Der Band behandelt die beispiellose Konjunktur der Architekturmoderne in Palastina erstmals unter dem Gesichtspunkt der zugrunde liegenden Vermittlungsprozesse. Namhafte Autoren untersuchen die Techniken, Strukturen und Akteure, die den Transfer architektonischen Wissens ermoglichten und an die Gegebenheiten vor Ort adaptierten. Dabei zeichnen sie ein neues, scharferes Bild dieses fesselnden Kapitels moderner Architekturgeschichte.
