Page 2 - The Architecture of Nadler-Nadler-Bixon-Gil
P. 2
Dear reader.
My name is Ariel Nadler, the only son of Shulamit and Michael Nadler, who were
famous Israeli Architects between 1946-2017, parallel to the establishment and
development of the state of Israel.
They specialized in public buildings, especially University Libraries, Schools,
Theaters and more.
They have also worked in Africa(Ghana) in the 60's.,
Not long after graduating, in 1946 (2 years before the state of Israel was
established), they founded together an Architect's office.
My parents were 23-25 years old, when they won their first architecture
competition in Israel, in 1946. (The Ruppin Collage)
Over the becoming years, two more partners were added, Mr. Shmuel Bixon and
Mr. Moshe Gil.
Among their famous buildings:
the Jerusalem Theater, Ben Gurion University Main Library in Beer Shiva. The
Court House in Nazerath.,5 Libraries at the Tel Aviv University., and many more.
My father passed away 24 years ago and my mother, on August 2016, at the age of
93.
After 2 years of work, we published a new architecture book, in English,470 pages,
hundreds of photos, which describes the architecture work and projects between
1946-2010., My mother was still alive to flip the pages of the book, and I felt, that
she passed away with great fulfilment and satisfaction.
It is my great honor, privilege and mission, to spread the legacy of their work and
the Architecture office they have established.
I do that in two main ways:
1.In Israel, I am crossing the country with Mr. Moshe Gil-the younger Partner (84),
Giving the book as a present to important Institutions, like Architecture
schools/faculties, libraries, Museums., so students and readers could learn about
their work and buildings.
we personally make appointments with the heads of the institutions /faculties
and giving the book in a personal meeting.
2.Marketing the book where ever I can., Book stores, museum, Architects offices,
and now -on line.
The book can be found at the following Libraries of these institutions in the U.S.A:
Duke, North Western Hebrew Union College, Harvard, Chicago, Library of
Congress, Yale, Ohio, California, Columbia
It is my great pride and honor to present this book to you.
Read, enjoy and remember.
sincerely yours
Ariel Nadler
A proud son.
