Supervisor Dr. Or AleksandrowiczElad Horn is an architect and a PhD student in the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. His research in the Big Data in Architectural Research Lab (BDAR), under the supervision of Dr. Or Aleksandrowicz, combines the fields of architectural history and digital humanities.
Elad is examining Tel Aviv-Yafo during the 1980s, when Israel’s economy underwent rapid neoliberal restructuring and the city’s architectural style was significantly altered.
His specific interest is in how economic trends, especially those affecting construction and real estate development, helped generate new architectural idioms. To better understand the mechanisms that drive architectural change, Elad employs computational methods such as big data analysis and machine learning for historical research. At a time when cities are undergoing rapid development, Elad hopes to contribute to the academic and public discourse on built heritage and preservation.
