Frishman 35 In contrast to the private homes designed for the bourgeois emigrés, the Hod Workers’ Residence, designed by Arieh Sharon, himself from a socialist kibbutz upbringing in Palestine, was constructed with the ideology of the labour movement in mind. The concept of the commune building, and its physical manifestation on Frishman Street, encapsulate all the Bauhaus values of functionality, simplicity, universalism and equality. The building itself is more minimalist in style than other Bauhaus examples in the city, and consists of a long continuous structure around a courtyard and common garden. The apartment block’s original designation included a ground floor containing a dedicated social space, a kindergarten, reading rooms, a general store, a doctor’s clinic, and other essential communal spaces. Arieh Sharon inherited his commitment to ‘social architecture’ not only from his kibbutz but also from the social architect Hannes Meyer, under whom he studied at the Bauhaus University, before returning to make his mark on his homeland.
