Abstract
The Zionist immigration to Palestine at the beginning of the 20th century neither sought to transplant the old culture to the new territory nor adopt the indigenous culture of that territory. Instead, it tried to create something altogether new and different. The shaping of Jewish space in Palestine from the 1880s to 1948 unfolded in two distinct environments, agricultural and urban, that still shared a number of features. It was also heavily influenced by the centralized nature of the Zionist settlement project, which determined the spatial layout as well as the architectural style of the Zionist settlement. Mixing the inevitable and accidental, the objective and subjective, the local and the foreign, historical and contemporary, Zionists created a new and unique Jewish space in Palestine.
