Dizengoff Square

Dizengoff Square is a circular plaza in central Tel Aviv designed with six building complexes by different architects, linking five major streets. The entire layout contains residential units, shops, and offices arranged around the central open space.

The plaza originated in the 1930s after architect Genia Averbuch won a design competition and created an initial form with Mediterranean influences. In 2018, major renovations returned the space to ground level while preserving its circular structure.

The square displays white Bauhaus facades with curved balconies that defined the international style shaping 1930s Tel Aviv. This architectural language remains visible today and distinctly shapes how the central plaza looks and feels.

The square is easily walkable and now features bicycle paths along with grass areas around its edges. Visitors should note that the central area can feel active during the day, while surrounding streets offer cafes and shops.

The center features a kinetic sculpture called 'Fire and Water' by Yaacov Agam that creates colorful water patterns against glass arches. This dynamic artwork was designed specifically for the plaza and stands as one of the few large-scale kinetic works in Tel Aviv's public spaces.
