Ambash House in Rehavia, all revealing
the influence of Mendelssohn, with whom
he kept in touch from his student years in
Munich until his arrival in Israel in 1935.
This essentially historical research included
a review of municipal archive building files,
on-site visits, discussions with architects,
and personal contact with Kauffmann’s
daughters – Esther Kauffmann Forsen and
Ruth Kauffman.
In 1980, Prof. Micha Levin published two
articles dealing mainly with the inspiring
concept of the garden-city in Richard
Kauffmann’s work. Later on, it was
impossible to publish illustrated research
without the family’s permission. Recently,
however, his daughter - Esther Kauffmann
Forsen allowed Harvard University to
scan his archive, enabling researchers to
access and publish documents, plans and
photographs deposited for safekeeping in
the Central Zionist Archives.
The study is incorporated as an independent
chapter in the book “Richard Kauffmann
and the Zionist Project” written by Marina
Epstein-Pliouchtch, Prof. Michael (Micha)
Levin and associate editor Dr. Zephyr
Fiinhlotz.
