About Israeli Bauhaus Tel Aviv (White City)

The White City of Tel Aviv is the world's largest concentration of Bauhaus architecture — over 4,000 buildings erected between 1931 and 1948 by German-Jewish architects who fled Nazi Europe, most having studied at Bauhaus Dessau. Their cream-white stucco facades, ribbon windows, and cantilevered balconies adapted European modernism to the Mediterranean climate, creating a cityscape that UNESCO inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2003.

This design system distills that vocabulary: warm stucco-white grounds, rigorous geometric sans typography, hairline borders, and restrained Bauhaus-primary accents used only for emphasis — never decoration.
