Summoning dreams to life (Leumi Bank Building in Tel Aviv)
Summoning dreams to life
Behind sturdy walls, memories weave in and out, often eluding my grasp as I reach for them. Yet, I indeed am not the first to realize that sometimes, it is necessary to unlearn the false ideas these memories try to make me believe.
Though gathering the courage to make the first move and grasp these fleeting memories is the most challenging part, it's essential for breaking through imposing, thick walls. Beneath this heavy cloak, however, a strong connection to life's fleeting, mystical moments persists, fueling my desire for change. In moments of doubt, these fleeting wonders reignite the curiosity hidden behind my fears.
Launching dreams into the vast expanse of the universe, the outcome remains unknown until tried. What returns from this cosmic journey could be many possibilities: a new beginning, a meaningful experience, or the allure of an unexplored place.
The Leumi Bank Building
The Leumi Bank building in Tel Aviv, Israel, is a testament to Brutalism's architectural ethos. Designed by architect Gershon Zippor in 1969, its faรงade is a pattern of geometric rigor, showcasing the raw concrete formwork that is a hallmark of the Brutalist movement. The building's repetitive angular windows create a sense of uniformity and strength, reflecting the ideals of functionality and imposing aesthetics characteristic of the era. It remains a notable feature in Tel Aviv's urban landscape, embodying the historical architectural trends of the late 1960s.
