Space Packed: The Architecture of Alfred Neumann is the first
critical monograph on the work of the Austrian-born modernist
architect Alfred Neumann (1900-1968). Based on an exploration of
his writings and a close study of his built and unbuilt projects,
it unveils and analyses Neumann's approach to architecture in the
context of post-war modernism and the establishment of the State of
Israel from 1948 onwards. Rafi Segal's book brings to attention
again this highly significant, yet largely forgotten figure who
contributed vastly to establishing modernism in Israel and who had
a lasting impact on the new country's architectural culture. At his
time, Neumann was equally renowned and controversial for his
original designs that differed from modernist mainstream. Space
Packed is divided into four chapters that discuss the development
of Neumann's architectural theories, methodologies, and built work
during the 1950s and 1960s, against the backdrop of contemporary
architectural discourse and the nation-building demands of the new
state of Israel. It also features a chronologically-organised and
illustrated catalogue of Neumann's buildings and designs, including
a vast number of previously unpublished photographs, drawings and
sketches.
