In this article, I discuss the impact of Brutalism in Israel. I look at the Negev Centre (1962–1965), one of Israel’s first Brutalist buildings by the Israeli architect Ram Karmi. Having studied in Britain, Karmi implemented Alison and Peter Smithson’s Brutalist concepts in his architecture. But he also followed the principles of Team 10. Moreover, since the Negev Centre is located in a desert, he had to adapt Brutalism to an arid climate. As such, his design included elements inspired by Middle Eastern architecture and references to Israeli culture. Analysing Karmi’s theory and practice through its associations with the work of the Smithsons and Team 10, I demonstrate how the social notions of these Western European architects, who proposed a novel relationship between architecture and urban planning, were implemented locally, as Karmi enlisted them for addressing the challenges faced by an Israeli architect. In addition, I show that Karmi adopted an approach to materials similar to that of the Smithsons by assimilating their industrial and ‘poetic’ qualities. Finally, I argue that Karmi’s interpretation of the Smithsons’ work demonstrates that the global spread of Brutalism consisted of a multi-faceted design approach that extended well beyond the use of exposed concrete, expressing social concerns and a renewed engagement with questions of locality.

新粗野主义,新国家:拉姆·卡米对以色列干旱地区建筑中粗野主义的同化

在本文中,我讨论了粗野主义对以色列的影响。我看着内盖夫中心(1962-1965),这是以色列建筑师拉姆·卡尔米设计的以色列第一座野兽派建筑之一。在英国学习后,Karmi 在他的建筑中实施了艾莉森和彼得史密森的野兽派概念。但他也遵循了十队的原则。而且,由于内盖夫中心地处沙漠,他不得不将粗野主义适应干旱的气候。因此,他的设计包括受中东建筑启发的元素和对以色列文化的参考。通过将 Karmi 的理论和实践与史密森和 Team 10 的工作联系起来,我展示了这些提出建筑与城市规划之间新关系的西欧建筑师的社会观念是如何在当地实施的,因为 Karmi 邀请他们解决以色列建筑师面临的挑战。此外,我通过吸收材料的工业和“诗意”品质,表明 Karmi 采用了与史密森一家类似的材料处理方法。最后,我认为卡米对史密森作品的解释表明,粗野主义的全球传播包括一种多方面的设计方法,这种方法远远超出了使用裸露混凝土的范围,表达了社会关注和对地方问题的重新参与。
