In July 2003, UNESCO elevated the city center of Tel Aviv to the status of a World Heritage Site. The Israeli city by the sea - little known in this country - has a unique ensemble of more than 4,000 houses in the New Building style, some of which have only been restored in recent years. Under the title `The White City of Tel Aviv - The Modern Movement, an exhibition organized by the city of Tel Aviv has been touring the world since 2004. From February 20 to May 19, 2008 (on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel), it will be shown for the first time in German-speaking countries at the Architekturzentrum Wien.
