"Jerusalem Design", by the Architect David Kroyanker – Jerusalem, 2016 – Limited Edition, Signed by Kroyanker
Jerusalem Design, God is in the Details, Illustrated Guide by David Kroyanker. Jerusalem: Jerusalem Design Heritage Publication, 2016. English. Four volumes. Limited edition of 50 copies.
This four-volume work deals with Jerusalem design, with particular focus on various architectonic details. The book’s four volumes contain hundreds of terms and more than three thousand photographs and illustrations. The first three volumes deal with architectonic details that come from the three faiths that left their mark on Jerusalem – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The fourth part deals with the city’s modern design during the twentieth century.
The book is the result of many years of research by architect David Kroyanker (b. 1939), who spent many years engaged in the architectonic-historical documentation of Jerusalem’s architecture, the development of Jerusalem, and the preservation of neighborhoods and buildings in the city.
