UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE OF ECLECTIC TEL AVIV

The most common architectural style in Tel Aviv of the 1920׳s was the eclectic style, named for being a collection – that is, an assortment of different styles. The majority of Jewish immigrants who settled in the Middle East originated from Europe. Just as they themselves were a combination of east and west, so were their buildings. Eclecticism combined oriental elements, such as arched windows, with western elements, such as neoclassical pillars.
