Ben-Ami Shulman (Jaffa, Israel July 7, 1907 – Los Angeles May, 1986) was an Israeli architect who was posthumously recognized as one of the significant 1930s architects of the modernist White City of Tel Aviv. The White City, which features the largest collection of international style architecture in the world, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. Positive/negative elements, such as rounded volumes or recessed prisms in the essentially flat facades were a specialty of Ben-Ami Shulman who designed buildings with a freedom reminiscent of plasticine modeling.

| - Ben-Ami Shulman (Jaffa, Israel July 7, 1907 – Los Angeles May, 1986) was an Israeli architect who was posthumously recognized as one of the significant 1930s architects of the modernist White City of Tel Aviv. The White City, which features the largest collection of international style architecture in the world, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. This designation resulted from the efforts of both Israeli and German architectural historians, beginning in the 1980s, to document the history of the architecture. Preservation and restoration of these buildings, many of which were neglected due to the economy or insensitive additions, are underway, and eight of them have been designated as landmarks. Along with other 1930's Israeli architects, Shulman's work was documented in book form in 1994 by German photographer Irmel Kamp-Bandeau and in 2004 by Israeli architect, historian and preservationist Nitza Metzger-Szmuk. Shulman and his work are included in the international traveling exhibition based on her book Dwelling On The Dunes: Tel Aviv Modern Movement and Bauhaus Ideals. Positive/negative elements, such as rounded volumes or recessed prisms in the essentially flat facades were a specialty of Ben-Ami Shulman who designed buildings with a freedom reminiscent of plasticine modeling.
