The chapter discusses two youth villages for children and adolescents designed by Genia Averbuch in pre-State Israel (Eretz Yisrael; Mandatory Palestine 1920–1948): Kfar Batya in Ra’anana (inaugurated in 1945, commissioned by the Mizrachi Women of America) and Hadassim Children and Youth Village near Even Yehuda (inaugurated in 1947, commissioned by WIZO). After World War II, Zionist women’s organizations undertook to provide care and education to immigrant children and adolescents, many of whom were orphaned Holocaust survivors. These were Averbuch’s first rural projects. They provided an opportunity for Averbuch, an avowed modernist, to formulate a new architectural language, joining modernism with vernacular architecture (genius loci), influenced by the rural landscape.

摘要

The chapter discusses two youth villages for children and adolescents designed by Genia Averbuch in pre-State Israel (Eretz Yisrael; Mandatory Palestine 1920–1948): Kfar Batya in Ra’anana (inaugurated in 1945, commissioned by the Mizrachi Women of America) and Hadassim Children and Youth Village near Even Yehuda (inaugurated in 1947, commissioned by WIZO). After World War II, Zionist women’s organizations undertook to provide care and education to immigrant children and adolescents, many of whom were orphaned Holocaust survivors. These were Averbuch’s first rural projects. They provided an opportunity for Averbuch, an avowed modernist, to formulate a new architectural language, joining modernism with vernacular architecture (genius loci), influenced by the rural landscape.
