The Architectural Casino

The Bat Galim Casino marks the point of connection for stories whose threads run along intercontinental channels to the French-American performer Joséphine Baker, while another narrative thread follows the hearing-impaired Viennese architect Adolf Loos and some of his clients, who emigrated to Haifa, highlighting the story of how home-sick migrants aimed to recreate a piece of Europe in Palestine.

Terrorism has been historically more successful when it was not...
