Day 13 - Thursday 27 May 2010I spent the day today in Tel Aviv at the ועידת ישראל לאדריכלות ולעיצוב - Israel Conference for Architecture and Design. Apart from being able to view works from 70 of Israel's top architects, there were endless other things to do at this expo, and I ended up walking around and spending close to 6 hours there!
I listened to an interesting lecture on the current state of and future of Architectural design in Israel and spent some time looking beyond the architectural designs, and seeing some of the industry professionals and what they had to offer (comparing this to the form and function expor of Australia pretty much!)
But the photo above is one that just happened, I was on the balcony, getting some fresh air from the hussle and bussle inside, and I see this photo playing out in front of me. The old buildings of Tel Aviv, foreshadowing the building to the back of new life, the new skyscrapers of Tel Aviv, and topped off by none other that the mad traffic of any metropolitan city, and specifically Tel Aviv in the foreground.
Also, it was a day where there was a thick dust/sand cloud over the country. When I left the heights of Jerusalem early Thursday morning, it wasn't that bad. But in Tel Aviv, it was hard to see across an few streets ahead..I thought it was the volcanic ash cloud finally hitting..but not correct on that count!
Really, it was a fantastic day! =)
