The Lab is the research unit of the White City Center, exploring various aspects of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.

 

The lab focuses on the study of urban space in the broadest sense and promotes studies related to urbanism, history, and culture. Our basic premise is that Tel Aviv-Jaffa - like any city - isn’t just the sum of its architectural monuments, but rather an extensive system of individuals and communities that maintain mutual relationships. 

 

A city exists through the life it sustains, thanks to the diversity of people and their creative, theoretical, commercial, cultural, and other ventures.

​

This concept is part of HUL (Historic Urban Landscape), an approach developed by UNESCO, which views historical urban space as a merger of tangible and intangible elements - both should be investigated and preserved.
