This article analyses two related events in 1960s Israeli architectural culture: first, the curricular revision at the Technion Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning under the deanship of Aviah Hashimshoni that promoted a comprehensive planning approach; and second, Hashimshoni’s 1963 essay ‘Architecture’, which is now regarded as the first history of Israeli architecture. I first show how these two instances synthesised the 1930s search for a national style and the regional planning approaches of the 1950s and 1960s. I then argue that this synthesis corresponded to the ways architects in Israel, and especially professors of architecture at the Technion, envisioned their profession’s civic service in the context of welfare-state ideology. They understood their service as articulating the state planning discourse, which viewed the region as a historical, cultural entity, and their profession as a neutral and implicit factor in establishing the architecture of this national-regional place. My analysis engages with scholarship on the political entanglement of architecture and state planning. As such, it contributes to the understanding of the ways in which, through this entanglement, Israeli design expertise and professional norms accommodated the combined knowledge of architects and urban planners.

作为公务员的建筑师：1960 年代以色列的 Aviah Hashimshoni 的建筑教育和史学

本文分析了 1960 年代以色列建筑文化中的两个相关事件：首先，在 Aviah Hashimshoni 的院长领导下，Technion 建筑与城市规划学院的课程修订促进了全面的规划方法；其次，Hashimshoni 1963 年的论文《建筑》，现在被认为是以色列建筑史的第一部。我首先展示了这两个实例如何综合了 1930 年代对民族风格的探索以及 1950 年代和 1960 年代的区域规划方法。然后，我认为这种综合与以色列的建筑师，尤其是 Technion 的建筑学教授在福利国家意识形态背景下设想他们的职业为公民服务的方式相对应。他们将自己的服务理解为阐明国家计划的话语，他们认为该地区是一个历史、文化实体，他们的职业是建立这个国家地区建筑的中立和隐含因素。我的分析涉及关于建筑和国家规划的政治纠葛的学术研究。因此，它有助于理解以色列的设计专业知识和专业规范是如何通过这种纠葛来适应建筑师和城市规划师的综合知识的。
