There are more than 450 Moshavim settlements and about 270
kibbutzim in Israel. While there is a range of communal and
cooperative kibbutz movements, all with slight ideological
differences, they are all collective rural communities, based on an
ideal to create a social utopian settlement. Placing the kibbutz
within the wider context of utopian social ideals and how they have
historically been physically and architecturally constructed, this
book discusses the form of the 'ideal settlement' as an integral
part and means for realizing a utopian doctrine. It presents an
analysis of physical planning in the kibbutz through the past eight
decades and how changes in ideology are reflected in changes in
layout and aesthetics. In doing so, this book shows how a utopian
settlement organization behaves over time, from their first
appearance in 1920 on, to an examination of the current spatial
layouts and the directions of their expected future development.
