Israel and the leader of the first master plan of the young state, reporting to then Prime Minister,
David Ben-Gurion. Sharon studied at the

Dessau under
Walter Gropius and
Hannes Meyer and on his return to
Israel (then
Palestine) in 1931, started building in the international or so-called
Bauhaus style in Tel Aviv. Sharon built private houses, cinemas and in 1937 his first hospital, a field in which he specialized in his later career, planning and constructing many of the country's largest medical centers.
